College Basketball Assistant Coaches

Did you guys hear about Dalonte Hill salary for the next three seasons of college basketball? He will be getting paid about $ 420,000 dollars for the next three seasons. My first reaction is that the school might be breaking Title IX's regulations, but as i read on the article it said that Kansas State is a private school. It may seem as though this article has no meaning but it does because schools who are federally funded, now have to compete with salaries given to assistant coaches and their staff. This could potentially eliminate more men's and women's sports for those schools just to stay competitive among elite schools. This guys makes more money than Washington State's staff at $330,000 dollars, he makes more than Wisconsin's staff who make $402,799 dollars and he will make just under Texas's staff at $425,000 dollars. If other schools decide to compete with this salary for one assistant coach; not only will it affect other sports but the women's coaching staff who make significantly less. There will be no equal pay for women who led their teams to national titles and Title IX will again be blamed for being a scapegaot.
