Inside the Library: Coach contracts from the 2025 hiring cycle

We’ve added dozens of new head and assistant coach contracts from the 2024-25 hiring cycle in recent weeks, with a focus on getting current in football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball. Now, you can find the salary, bonus structures, buyout agreements, benefits, and more for hundreds of coaches in college sports. 

If you want to understand Will Wade’s buyout terms at N.C. State or know what Indiana is paying Darren Devries – Extra Points Library is your go-to resource.

Get a FREE Financial Ranking Report for your conference

Our latest update to Library allows users to compare financial information by school, conference, and year faster than ever before. With that information in hand, we decided to create a few conference reports of our own.

Using FY24 FRS Data, these reports all the league schools in metrics like ticket sales and media rights revenue, recruiting expenses, operating expenses, and operating revenues. 

We now have FREE reports ready for the Big Ten, SEC, Mountain West, MAC, Horizon League and Summit League. Request a copy at [email protected], and we’ll send the report.

New to Library: Football feasibility studies

We recently added football feasibility studies for 8 institutions. Performed by top consulting firms, the studies break down the options available for schools interested in adding football to their athletic department. They provide cost/benefit analysis, financial projections, market interest and opportunity, while outlining associated risks for the institution. There’s a lot to chew on, including fascinating insight into the business of college sports. 

The studies in Library include schools who opted to add football, like Georgia State, and several who did not, including Cleveland State, Florida Gulf Coast, New Orleans, and Winthrop.

The decision to add football is a big one for any institution. These studies detail the variables that play a role in each schools’ decision. Unsurprisingly, money sits at the center of the analysis, but factors like stadium construction and athletic department expansion to comply with Title IX also play a major role. 

For administrators, departments, or consultancies considering their own feasibility studies, these documents provide a true comparison work product to prepare.

Do you have a feasibility study that you’d be willing to share? We would love to provide a discount to Library for institutions or individuals who contribute to our database.
