Tough one last night. I’m very surprised we only got 3 hits on Winthrop’s mid-week pitching. Our line-up certainly is better than that.
Moving on to the weekend, need to keep winning conference games.

Are we to the point we have to win the tourney yet? Got to on the brink I would think

I don’t think so yet. But need to finish conference strong and win a couple postseason. Also a win vs SC or CC would go a long way
yes, they would------this is why I hate to see us sometimes act like “mid week games don’t matter”. They absolutely DO matter, especially when you are on, or near the “bubble”. If we had picked up just 2-3 more of our “very winnable” mid-week and non-conference games (ie; WInthrop, UNCW, etc.) we’d be in a much better position now for an at-large bid.

Great find, clt. I’d say we are punching above our weight at 114th. Check out that ECU budget. 
Damn that SEC money!!!
Better than nothing.

To clarify, these are the things included in an individual sport’s budget, per the NCAA FRS.
- scholarships (+ COA, etc.)
- guarantees
- coaching/admin/support salaries
- buyouts
- travel (team/recruiting)
- equipment
- gameday expenses
- facility overhead
- meals
- fundraising
- spirit groups
- memberships/dues
- facility debt/leases/rental fees
- indirect institutional support
- medical expenses
- “other operating expenses”
clt asks mr bo if the higher cost to attend duke and wf are heavily biasing the numbers
mr B thinks so since these numbers include scholarships and COA.

Looks like making the jump to a next level program costs about an extra million a year. How much of that budget is from ticket sales at ECU and Wichita State?

I’m sure it’s a factor. I will point out that that both HPU & Elon are pricey undergrads and they are both behind us.
Those SEC numbers are obscene.
