What is the going rate for a GM?
What about president?
Coo cfo...etc?
Anybody have any idea?
No idea...
Sure GM's make in the low 7 figures... $1-3 mil maybe, depending on tenure and performance.
I'm guessing it's very similar to your average corporate America type white collar jobs... GMs, VPs, etc make 6 figures+, 9-5 financial analysts, sales, marketing, accounting, development type roles probably between 40 and 100k, commensurate with experience.
I minored in Sports Management and, as you can imagine, most the other students in my classes were interested in working in the sports field, many in these type of business jobs. One think all my professors stressed was that there are thousands of people that want to work in the sports world, especially for pro franchises, and because of all the supply, they are able to underpay for the type of work.
I worked on an interesting project in my Sports Administration class where a group of 6 of us each interviewed someone working in Sports Admin at Univ. of Florida. I interviewed their Controller (Financial/Accounting person), but the most interesting was the interview with their Athletic Director. One of the slides was about his career path, which was all at UF, and believe it or not he got his start in the Ticket Booth. Our professor said it's a great starting point because it can eventually get you promoted to managing ticket sales, which gives to insight into the heart of the "business" of college sports, something that easily translates into balancing budgets and making key decisions. Pretty sure that AD make $250k+.
