From 2010 until 2011, the National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School collaborated with USA Today, Premier Stinson Sports (PSS) and Stinson Morrison Hecker LLP in the collection and analysis of employment contracts for NCAA  Division I college athletics directors. The partnership produced a database - parts of which are published online and in print by USA Today.

• 2010-2011 Analysis Men's College Basketball Coaches' Salary Database
• 2010-2011 Analysis Women's College Basketball Coaches' Salary Database
