So we're spending just enough to still not be competitive in the SEC both football and basketball. We can't be everything. I'd just cut basketball in half and give it to football.
We could buy a lot more home runs and lower era’s with that money.
How does anyone know what the numbers really are
We’re 14th - 15th in spending in the SEC.

UGA is the only conference school below our level.
That doesn't seem to be hindering Alabama according to the graphic.
Jans doing worse with less
This is interesting-
-The BigEast is 2nd in avg spend and the ACC is 5th.
- The Big10 and Big12 would have to increase the avg spend by over 1/3 to match the SEC's avg spend.
I like that the article included Gonzaga(Tier3), despite them not being in one of the 5 listed conferences.

We have a few very loyal basketball boosters. So while in theory your plan sounds good, the options are they either fund basketball or they do not fund basketball.
They don't, except for the ADs. And to get that info would take an incredible amount of investigative journalism.
What they do have, is the 'perception'. Sort of like how you judge your neighbors by the house and what's in the driveway.
And that's hiiiiiighly subjective.
If we would have taken half of that and spent it on baseball, we would not have lost last week.**
I’m even surprised they’re not Tier 2. They have some good NIL deals, strong local and alumni support, and the most insane waitlist for tickets of any program anywhere

My perception is that my neighbor's not going to win a lot of basketball games this year.
That's just NIL, the "payroll" . Has nothing to do with flights, meals, lodging, buses, coaching salaries, etc etc.
I wouldn’t trade him for the world but this is the negative of having a superstar “college” player. He means more to us than he would to anyone else and he is going to get more NiL each year and not go to the NBA in year 3. So we kind of are overpaying for him.
Heard some guest talking head on DFW radio 105.3 fan talking about the "norm" these days is 3:1 football to basketball. I think they were talking about how good BYU is doing because apparently the AD won't fund football like it was committed to the coach. Football coach and AD hate each other apparently. I could have the school wrong but the 3:1 was definitely said by this "expert."
You clearly did not read the article to see what transfers were pulling. Our star is worth a lot elsewhere also.
Yeah, I appreciate the article’s effort, and I don’t think it’s too far off overall, but there is absolutely zero chance that Oats and Jans have similar budgets. Bama is likely much closer to Tier 2 than Tier 4, and you can take a quick look at their last 4-5 recruiting hauls to confirm that
Take the baseball money and give to basketball so we can be good in something (that people actually watch).
I’m not saying he wouldn’t fetch a hefty price as a transfer. I’m saying the optics of keeping a huge brand ambassador adds to what we are going to pay to make sure he stays here. For LSU he’s a player that gives you 20 ppg, for Mississippi State he’s the face of your program that will have a significant legacy despite the teams’ results.
Outside of Kentucky (which has faded the last few years), does the SEC have that much of a national draw in basketball outside of the NCAA tournament period?
There is no way we're spending the same amount as Bama on basketball - they've landed much more higher level transfer than us for years now.
I don't trust any of these attempts at reporting because they never disclose how they came to their numbers.
That said, we are overpaying Hubbard for the reason others have said. The problem is we have not evaluated well on 2nd/3rd tier players we need to be solid support cast. Plenty of mid-majors find solid contributors for less than we pay guys that aren't producing. That's especially frustrating because Jans system is a little atypical and he's done it for years so he should have a better idea of what skills to look for and what translates.
I've been baffled at some of our signings the past few years and don't buy the "it's all we could afford" argument.

I'm assuming you forgot the sarcasterics.
It's just ridiculous that, according to this, we average close to $1M per player and 13 out of 15 teams in our league outspend us.
