According to Marquette financial documents, Marquette men’s basketball head coachSteve Wojciechowski was paid around $2.02 million in fiscal year 2019. Meanwhile, former women’s basketball head coach Carolyn Kieger was paid roughly $485,000, which is approximately 25% of Wojciechowski’s salary.
This trend of men’s teams’ coaches receiving more payment appears to be most present when comparing men’s and women’s basketball.
According to the U.S. Department of Education’s Equity in Athletics Data Analysis, Marquette pays head coaches and assistant coaches very differently. The average institutional salary per head coach for men’s teams is just over $500,000.
