Albany HC $95 associate $55k
Binghampton HC $75k

Sport doesn't generate any money so unless you are the top of the top with results and longevity it doesn't pay very well. That's why they all do camps and clinics using the colleges facilities to supplement their pay. Same thing in Soccer. It also explains why they is so much coaching turnover because these coaches like everyone else aspire to more than $50k a year


Lack of qualified coaches in addition to players is tough on the women's sport. Colleges want Head Coaching experience, a master's degree, and every summer and weekend of the year. then they think that 35-45K is more than fair for all of that because its D1 you know. And then they want coaches to move halfway across the country and get $10k to hire 2 assistants. THATS why they cant get and retain good coaches because of the pay, relocation, pressure and lost weekends.
