Salaries

I think they came from the schools' tax returns and reporting to the Dept of Education under Title IX.

Would the school's return segregate the head football coach from the other coaches (assistants and other sports)? That would seem curious to me that there would be an individual breakdown on a tax return rather than just a "Sports Salaries" or even just "salaries" category. I am not an accountant nor do I play one on TV but it just seems odd they are able to list the head coach salary with what I would think is limited information.

One of the Journals on Education pulls Title IX reports. I read some study there once. I think Title IX requires a breakdown of compensation. I think that report would say "head football coach salary: X"

I guess that makes sense in order to document fairness under Title IX.

...fairness under Title IX.

Oxymoron. The phrase, not you mrydel.
