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.
