The issue with retaining younger generations of athletic coaches/admin has as much to do with the pay as it does the culture (not detailed here via CollegeAD). Destructive leadership, win at all costs, ethical/moral compromises are pushing passionate people out of the space

No they wouldn't. In D-II and D-III, athletics recruitment drives enrollment. Half the students play a sport at many schools. Cutting athletics would be a crippling financial hit to many D-II and D-III schools, as they wouldn't be able to recruit as many tuition paying students.
