Abstract

The monopoly and monopsony power of intercollegiate sports create significant rents, but previous studies of intercollegiate football coaches’ salaries implicitly assume that coaches are paid their marginal revenue products. In a two-stage estimation, we show that coaches share in these rents. The first stage shows that several common measures of coaches’ productivity do not affect an athletic department’s variable revenue. When we include these measures in the second-stage salary equation, their impact on pay reflects bargaining power, not productivity. We also find that several measures of fixed revenue, which are independent of the coach’s performance, increase the coach’s pay.

Earlier versions of the BCS—the Bowl Coalition and the Bowl Alliance—existed from 1992 through 1997, but they were not able to secure the participation of the Big 10 or Pac-10 conferences.

This could also be applied to a school that maximizes prestige or a more complex utility function, as long as wins enter positively.

We also specified a model that used the team’s record in the current season, but this variable had no significant impact in any of the regressions we ran and is not included here.

The University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas have higher broadcast revenue because these two schools have their own sports networks.

The BCS Bowls were renamed “New Year’s Six” Bowls after the implementation of the College Football Playoff in 2015. Because the term applies to so much of our sample, we continue to use this now-outdated phrase.

For a more complete treatment of the history of the BCS, see Leeds et al. (2018).

According to Wetzel et al. (2010), the University of Florida had net revenue of only $47,000 from participating in the 2009 national championship game.
