speaking of budget....
someone posted a detailed breakdown of the athletics budget (revenue generated & expenses) for University of North Carolina
I kinda expected this but the amounts are what staggers me.....

Football and Men's basketball made HUGE profits - almost $35 million combined...
EVERY OTHER MEN'S SPORT - and EVERY SINGLE WOMEN'S SPORT lost HUGE amounts of money....
Women's basketball lost $4.3 million
Women's soccer & lacrosse combined to lost almost $2 million
Overall - the women's sports combined to lose $15 million!!!
Men's baseball, track, wrestling and others all lost from $1 million to $2 million each....

Here's Penn State - the ONLY program that is profitable is their football program - it supports every other sport - LINK
Their WBB loses almost $5 million!! Ice hockey (the program Michael Cross headed up) loses $2.5 million.

I think most of us realized that all the non-major sports were money drains. Mid-Major schools likely try to manage expenses as best as possible in these sports but use them as recruiting tools as well, and there is a prestige element to offering smaller sports like tennis or in UNC's case, rowing etc.

What is more surprising to me is that basketball is more profitable than football for UNC, $23MM vs $14MM. Now it may be the most extreme case though, where the football program isn't really much to write home about, but the basketball program is legendary. Maybe its an inverse situation at Alabama or Texas etc.
 
I'm not sure what criteria this guy uses for this ranking. It may be based on NIL money, past success, or fan support.
But I guess it is a compliment that Bradley is ranked higher than all but one other MVC team in Tier 5, which also includes a number of pretty good Power Conference programs. Only Murray State is in the same group as Bradley, and note that UNI is a tier lower, in Tier 6., along with some other Power Conference programs. But where are ISU, Drake, and Belmont? All other MVC teams must be lower than Tier 7, which has some embarrassing programs like Northern Illinois, Central Michigan, and San Jose State. But Tier 7 also strangely includes Nebraska and BYU. 🙄
