I'll butt in here.
 
The P-S had a big piece on ND hoops when they visited the dome last season. Lots of stuff from Brey about how he runs his program. He is big on transfers, saying that he actively pursues them. Not just Hansborough, but 2 on this season's roster--one from Purdue, one from Mich St, and many others over the past decade. So no, SU does not use transfers the way ND (Brey) does.
 
He also red shirts players regularly--Abromaitis sat out a year (and may not get a waiver from the NCAA to play a 6th year). Brey had an interesting story about why he decided to make red shirting a pillar of his program. He put freshman McAlarney on the court, saw him get physically abused by Krauser, and decided that he had to use more mature players if he wanted to compete.
 
As to football "gets all the money": I'm sure that they get most of it, but their other programs are well taken care of. They put more than a few million dollars into renovating the Joyce Center a couple of years ago. They support their women's hoops program very well, and they probably grant more scholarships in "Olympic" sports than anyone but Stanford and a few of the mega state programs.
