Huh. Everything I've heard in recent years is that Washington doesn't allocate much of their athletics department budget to women's hoops. This showing them among the bigger spenders in the entire country seems...implausible to me. Langley at $650 K is certainly not among the highest paid coaches. A USA Today article I just found from 2024 had her at #37.
Yeah, Washington spending about as much on women's hoops as Tennessee, color me very, very skeptical of this info.

The graphic states that the data is from 2023-2024 and the source was the US Department of Education. The question would be what they considered to be part of the budget as it's more than just coaches salaries.

My Penn State head coach number is incorrect. Should have double checked my chart made several weeks ago. The NCAA form breaks out head coach and assistant coaches compensation, but Penn State submitted only a combined number. Mea culpa.
