Abstract

This paper examines pay discrimination in relation to female swimming and diving coaches a part of the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division I conference. To evaluate pay discrimination, this paper assesses the impact of various determinants on annual base salary of coaches in the lower revenue generating sport of swimming and diving. This study analyzes data from the 2016 Salary Survey by CSCCA (College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America) using an ordinary least squares regression model. It is worth noting that the salaries of coaches in lower revenue generating sports, specifically at institutions with NCAA Division I affiliated men’s football and basketball programs, are being subsidized due to increased earnings. These results suggest that gender is a significant predictor of a coach’s annual base salary. This study also finds autonomy structure, years of experience, and NCAA Division I to be significant determinants of a head coach’s annual base salary.
