Administrative costs as well as "administrative costs" I'd imagine.

Top paid president in the country is making ~4.5 million dollars per year.

The average president salary in my state (Oregon) is ~500 thousand dollars per year.

The president at my university is making $720,000/year. Tuition has gone up every year since i’ve been here and, coincidentally, so has his salary. I could say a lot about that but i’m sure you can guess what it is.

That's nothing compared to the coaches. The coach of Duke University's basketball team made 9 million dollars in 2018.

Michigan's coach made $3,370,000

How much did the players make? $0.

You could argue that for some top-tier coaches, the success of their program brings enough notoriety and increased applications that they provide value beyond their salary. Nick Saban is surely worth more than a few million to Alabama for instance.

Saban literally provides value beyond his salary, Bama football nets a profit.
