I thought that was private money for their arena. Regardless, UVa has a $57.5 million athletic budget.

uncommon, Bill Cords has been at Marquette for 20 years. I would expect his next move is to a retreat with a rocking chair.

UVa’s budget has to include payments on the arena, there is no way to spend $9 million on basketball expenses, you’d have to be wiping your ass with hundred dollar bills.

you'd have to be wiping your ass with hundred dollar bills.
I'd settle for silk toilet paper.

How does UNCA even afford to play… I mean I don’t think they ever play a non converence game at home… so how do they afford to travel everywhere?

This one burns just as bad:

All athletics budgets (not just basketball)

Brick, you can’t use that. Those numbers include football budgets for some schools.

actually yes he can. We are a four year institution that is every bit as capable of putting a football team out there with the equivalent womens teams, we choose not to.

Bingo.

Via that site, I linked through to the Office of Postsecondary Education, which is where they got the numbers. That is a great site.

Via the office of PostSecondary Education. Food for thought.

nice analysis.
I cant believe we are 194 in D1 budgets out of 330.
that is shameful.

nice analysis. I cant believe we are 194 in D1 budgets out of 330. that is shameful.
of those 330 what are we ranked in # of students?

also of note, we would be 3rd in the SoCon, and we don’t even have football.

In all fairness we haven’t been around nearly as long as almost all of these schools. Time and money is definitely a factor in monetary support. I’m not saying ours couldn’t and shouldn’t be more, but our hill is much steeper to climb than these other schools.

By the way, does this mean you get what you pay for?

Look at the MVC, which IMHO is getting the most bang for the buck- Wichita State is kicking everyone’s butt with a $2M budget-> Seems Charlotte should be right there or a tad more. But not a whole lot more.

That original site, Mid-Majority, also posts cost per win for last season … I believe ours was $86k per win in hoops … I’m sure that the MVC’s was much, much less.

[QUOTE=HP49er;205908]I thought that was private money for their arena.[/QUOTE]

Paul Tudor Jones II, a UVa grad, made a $35 million commitment to the arena, which is named for his father (also a UVa grad).

And all this time I thought it was named for either a Revolutionary War naval hero or the bass/keyboard player for Led Zeppelin! :smile:

Payouts are anywhere from 30K-100K per game. Syracuse pays top dollar because they know they can sell 20,000 tickets at $20 each to bring in roughly $400,000 per game. Small schools survive that way.
