All budget talk is just silly to be honest. But if you want to speak to any budget numbers then focus completely on football and basketball. Once again, these numbers are greatly skewed by the cost of a scholarship, specifically for football because there are so many players. The cost of a "scholarship" at Rice is a lot more than Marshall. So right off the bat, their "budget" is much higher than Marshall or App St etc.

Either way, Liberty is the only one who has a football budget much higher than everyone else.

Curious where the AAC and MWC fall on this. If largest total budgets correlated exactly to who was picked, I'm wondering if football and or basketball fall along the same lines. i.e. we can prove out whether in fact the SEC and Big 12 cared about how much was spent on soccer and volleyball.

1) The list above is based on expenditures. Maybe they are saying that they pay out more than they do to athletics, but I doubt it.
2) So you think it's a coincidence that the top 3 teams in terms of spending in the G5 moved up?

Yeah....winning and actual performance had NOTHING to do with it

Being a state school, I’d like to see where UMass falls in your football/basketball budget list on the OP. Do you have that data?

Just added UMASS data to the previous post.

since herdfan has a bias against JMU i'll add ours:


Football - $11,319,596
Men's Hoops - $3,637,194
Women's Hoops - $2,565,200

LOL...its funny and sad that you think I have a bias against an FCS school....you aren't included because you aren't an actual candidate. If you want to do all the work to find the info for your team then please do so and I'll add it in with the rest, but I'm not going to do the work for JMU.
