In 2024, the average salary for post-secondary coaches in Pennsylvania was $71,415, marking an 8.3% increase from $65,933 the previous year.

A Knight Commission report projects that within a decade, some Power 5 football coaches will earn more than their schools spend on scholarships and medical care for all athletes. The study estimates more than $1 billion in new annual revenue from the expanded College Football Playoff and media rights deals. By 2032, nearly half of public Power 5 schools could reach this ‘crossover point.’

Incomplete data provided by post-secondary institutions can sometimes skew salary data.
