This is perfect example of why early commits need to be careful. The commitments do not in anyway have to be honored by incoming coach.
In some cases AD will honor because Ivy they feel it is about the school not the sport. You don't hear about the kids getting the calls telling them sorry you are no longer wanted. Especially when a player tells a coach no not interested going somewhere else and then the head coach of where he thought he was going gets fired and the replacement is from a school he said no to.
Outside of the top 25 many most make around $50-$70k, top assistant $20-40k all other assistants are volunteer or gas money. With so little money being made the coaches are always moving around outside the top 10
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
