Pretty much who you expect to see.
A handful of these schools are getting a poor return on their investment — including Indiana (for which I have long rooted).
Northwestern and TCU? Those are head-scratchers.
Highest cost of attendance for D-1 schools in 2019-20 (non-Ivy League):
78654 -
Northwestern University
77459 - University of Southern California
77029 - Duke University
76891 - Fordham University
76280 - Georgetown University
75886 - Boston College
75400 - Bucknell University
75312 - Pepperdine University
75015 - Colgate University
75002 - Boston University
74829 - Santa Clara University
74570 - Stanford University
74358 - Wake Forest University
74193 - University of Notre Dame
74160 - George Washington University
The average is $47,972.
This is from data that schools report to the federal Department of Education. It's going to depend a lot on each school's accounting system.
For some schools, this will be only coaching salaries, athletic scholarships, and direct travel expenses. For other schools, it will add on gameday expenses, a pro-rata share of athletic department expenses, and depreciation/maintenance of the arena.
I would take this with a huge grain of salt.
