Meanwhile, this is an interesting analysis that compares the basketball budgets of tourney teams

Duke First, Florida Last Among No. 1 Seeds in Basketball Spending

I believe SU's budget is around $10 million.

Now, this doesn't include NIL, which is "off the books". But I'll continue to push back on the idea that SU is doomed to irrelevancy. We have the money to compete in men's basketball in today's landscape.

It's gotta be higher than $10M, no?

Supposedly the budget for the entire AD was $94M last year. Not sure how anything breaks down, including with the Dome operating factor, but I'd have to guess MBB is more than 10% of the entire AD budget.

If Vandy, Marquette, Creighton and Baylor are $13M+, we've gotta be in that neighborhood. Unless JB's contract was so, so, so, so far below his peers in that last season...

The West Virginia governor would like to speak to the manager.

Maybe they can work something out where they forfeit their title in Rifle to go dancing.

Apparently we declined an invite to the new Crown Tournament. Didn’t even know we could get an invite as an ACC team.
