Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Not the least bit surprising that UNC is fleecing their fans. One should always take advantage of "stupid" after all.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
what is interesting is that UK and UNC have pretty much the same expense tied to college basketball with about 1million difference separating them in the 7-8 range. Duke on the other hand is at almost $14m in expenses.
So how in the hell is Duke spending $7m on expenses more than programs that give their college basketball program carte blanche to spend as they see fit?

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
UK is the ones doing the fleecing, your "expenses" (ahem) are over $1 million more than ours. Nobody said recruiting titles were cheap. Meanwhile, Carolina brings in over $5 million more in revenue than UK...

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
if you look at those numbers more closely, to have a serious basketball program, it appears you'll need to spend up to $8m as many major programs spend in the 5-8 range.
Jumping off the page are Marquette and Michigan St spending $13 and $9 million to run their programs but they are the only two besides Duke that break double digits.
I'm sure what actually appears as a cost varies widely but its interesting to me that several schools all fall within a basic range of each other when it comes to costs.

Since Dook is private they don't have to release details on how much they pay Krycholsky, correct?

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
look at Ohio St - 16m revenue, 4m expense - not bad and they have a decent program as well. Zona is 17 and 6 and Louisville - $25m and 8. Holy Cow

You can sort that list by whichever criterion you're interested in looking at...

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Of course, you can always go the cheap route, like NCState. They're #12 in gross profit and #5 in profit margin due to being niggardly on expenses, i.e., not shelling out for a top coaching staff. Their motto is "profitability thru suckage"...

I can't imagine. Its not merchandise and its not tv/radio. Plus they have to give Pitino a $5m longevity bonus this year.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Apparently A&M's AD had to choke and sputter in his soda yesterday when he found out that Buzz Williams somehow makes close to $4million per season at Marquette (according to some newspaper hack, anyway, I still dont see how that could possibly be true, but it does seem to be fact that we basically can't or won't pay him what he wants.eCat wrote:if you look at those numbers more closely, to have a serious basketball program, it appears you'll need to spend up to $8m as many major programs spend in the 5-8 range.

Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

My guess is that the answer is prove to be OK enough that they just wont let him be the next Crean.

Re: Ostensibly Hoops
Not only does UL overpay Pitino, I think Pitino also got nice cushy salaries for his assistants as well. That whole staff is grossly overpaid.
