I was listening to the mods pod today and did I hear right, were 18th nationally in MBB spending nationally? That can’t be right. Is it all coaches salaries? If so why is that so high?
18th Nationally in College MBB spending

Pike is one of the top 25 paid coaches nationally and our assistant pool is incredibly overpaid
couple that with no influx of revenue or profits force the department to shell out more money for regular expenses which in turn adds to the issue of additional resources for actual roster building
Per podcast, it’s too 25 nationally for coaches salaries. Then Richie said thanks Hobbs
It's ok..we're selling out...oh wait..those are given to 3rd parties to create the sellout.
I truly wish us the best but this so irresponsible.. poor Keli.

That is some pretty piss poor return on investment. It’s NCAAs or bust next year for Pike, literally. Keli is not going to continue with this type of payroll with such nothing results to show for it.
Forget Top 18.
If you want to be paid as a Top 40 staff you dont get to be a "development program" and not even be in bubble contention 3 straight years.
Want to blame NIL?
Ok. Acceptable.
But then the staff (Pike or whoever) shouldn't be paid Top 20.

It’s high but I believe that list is public schools only, no private schools, I’ll let Mike B check me on that
Therein lies the problem. Instead of spending all this money on coaches the school should be spending it on player acquisition.
