I have heard Houston doesn't have an SEC type nil budget. Where did the $10M figure come from?
Man if Tech hadn't pissed down their leg then we'd have half the final 4
How does Houston as the 1 seed play Purdue and Tennessee in their own backyards? Hats off the the Cougs, but totally not rewarding the 1 seed.
And darn it Tech. Would have been great to get 2 in.
Just threw that out. To be competitive, feels like teams will need to be in the $5-7M range going forward, after RevShare kicks in
I know the Auburn game was in November and TT was in January, and Houston was in February.
But we played on the same level with all of these teams and at Houston short handed.
Not sure where the “we can’t compete in the
2nd weekend” narrative comes from.

I wonder if they will ever transparently disclose how much the players actually make like professional leagues do. It seems like there is a lot of speculation and " I heard so and so makes X amount of dollars" but I never see any concrete numbers from athletic departments or other credible sources.

Well, a good reward for a team that essentially played two road games as a 1 seed.
I don’t see how public schools will be able to get around FOIA. Maybe not down to the individual player, but I’d think they’ll have to disclose what each program is getting
