Abstract

Escalating sports coaching costs have strained budgets at many universities. This paper analyses these expenditures as a form of Tullock Costs (Tullock, 1967). In this framework the money the universities receive is spent on recruiting top talent, so the schools receive little, or no, monetary gain under current scholarship rules.
