In Depth Info On Potential AAC Candidates.....
All of these figures will be averages since 2014 which is the first year under the current re-alignment (minus the 2020 season due to COVID).
I see fans from multiple schools trying to use one year (if it benefits them or diminishes another). We can't look at just one single year to get a full picture so that is why I have compiled all of this data from 2014-2019 (Includes the 2019 season). So I decided to take the time and figure up the averages for each school over this time period. Averages are a lot better measuring stick as it's over a longer period of time.

Enough about overall athletic budgets. Let's look at the budgets for football and men's basketball since those are honestly the only two sports that matter. How much a team spends on soccer is irrelevant and I say that as a Marshall fan who just won the NCAA National Championship in soccer.
