I know our athletic budget is very low compared to a lot of power conference schools and we are getting good value from mens BB and FB in comparison to our annual budget...especially over the last decade or so. Maybe not in NCAA tourney wins but overall it should be very good from a regular season wins perspective.
It's a stupid chart because it is all dependent on how far you make it in the tournament. If we beat Nevada and go on a final 4 run, we would have 3 or 4 more wins for the same amount of expenses. All it shows is that teams that perform well in the tournament do well in this chart because they are taking the total expenses and dividing it by the number of tournament wins. When you change the denominator from 8 to 18 you are obviously going to blast up the chart.
