MBB G13 Final: Louisiana 73, SLU 72

[CajunT]

There focus and financial support is not on basketball and what I suggest to do here

Yes, but they exist already in the conference. We want in and all of those programs have had some success in MBB in the past. We must add more than football, although it is the driving force.

USF , UCF & ECU proves otherwise

Looked up USF, and their basketball budget last year was $3.85M with the coaches salaries being $1.85M. Their head coach salary/benefit package was $937,500 for 2017-2018. Their overall athletic budges was about $40M.

Looks like someone just threw something up there to see if it would stick.

Which is where our athletic budget will be in 3 years.

Based upon what?

Usf budget is 50 mill so they spends 7.5% of their athletic budget on basketball we spent close to 8.2 I would like to see ours around 5%

Now do UCF their coach base salary is less than Marlins and they have a budget of almost 60 mill

Based upon what?

We will be really close to a $35M budget this year. We have continued to grow our athletic budget at a very significant rate. You will see when the numbers come out this tear.

Extrapolation, I'd guess.

Matching Lanny's numbers with yours, we already spend almost as much as as USF on basketball. Something must be way off somewhere.

Usf budget is 50 mill so they spends 7.5% of their athletic budget on basketball we spent close to 10% I would like to see ours around 5%

Just throwing this out there, but I would say that if spending a few more bucks on softball would be what it would take to have the crowds in place to help the girls get to the WCWS, I'd gladly take that money from the basketball program.

Yes, I know........NCAA tournament $$$, eyeballs around the nation for basketball versus softball, yada yada yada......that's just how I feel.

We may not be quite at $35M but we have exceeded $30M. We are aggressively increasing our budget in order to be competitive amongst the institutions we would like to be peers with.

My biggest gripe with Marlin is schedule and ROI. If he won 27 games a year every year it would be different. But that isn’t the case. If our OOC opponents all had an RPI in the top 150 history shows that we wouldnt win more than 15 games a season.

I want to dominate the Sun Belt, not be middle of the pack. I want to see us iqualify for the NIT at least every other year. We aren’t getting that kind of production out of Marlin. We are in an average to below average league. We have the facilities and better support than almost all of the mid majors in our region.

The UCF athletic budget is about $57M and the USF was about $40M according to the 2017-2018 documents I found.

Should also have noted that UCF listed about $22M on student fees as part of their athletic budget.
