Grand Forks County's 13 coaches earned an average salary of $139,339 in 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This is the second highest average salary per county earned by coaches at North Dakota post-secondary schools during 2024.

Grand Forks County is home to just one post-secondary school which paid coaches during 2024.

Male coaches of men's teams received $205,910 on average in Grand Forks County, while female coaches in charge of women's teams earned an average of $82,278.

College football is one of the biggest sports in the U.S., with some college teams eclipsing NFL teams in terms of attendance and profit.

College athletes can now be paid directly by schools after a settlement approved in early July, which also requires the NCAA to pay $2.8 billion in back damages over 10 years to athletes who played from 2016 to the present. 

In 2022, after years of legal and legislative pressure, athletes also gained the right to profit from their names, images and likenesses through state laws and an NCAA policy change.
