MBB ate up a third of the AD budget? 6MM more than football?

Did not think this would be the case, wow, over UK??

It's an apples to oranges comparison. If you don't know what each school is counting with each budget, it's hard to figure out expenses for comparison. UConn spent $96.7m overall. But what's the breakdown? Other schools spend $200m+. Texas for example. Only $16m on basketball? Clearly Texas is taking bball expenses and throwing them into the general budget.

UConn's accounting makes it look less impressive for football probably because they want to carry football as long as possible without drawing the attention of state legislators who might point out, football is responsible for half the school's AD budget deficit. Then the B12 looks at that game and kills UConn for a small football budget. Which is ludicrous all around.

Boy I'd like to see how these schools "allocate" expenses to the various sports to come up with "MBB" only numbers. Calipari makes half of the Kentucky numbers. Show the WBB for UConn, how much "less" could they be spending (little in salaries but they don't exactly operate/travel 2nd class).
Six of the top twenty in Big East, nah, not buying. Providence spends more on MBB than Michigan or North Carolina?

I know some schools include facilities maintenance as part of their AD budget.

This is fiscal year 2022 also, so it ended before the season started (so no championship expenses).

I just looked it up. The main reason ours is so high is because the Ollie settlement is included in there.

Thanks. That's quite an extraordinary item worth highlighting.

Is it possible for a normie like me without passwords to get access to detailed UConn budget info? Cursory search, I come up with little detail, just a few general numbers.

I figured something like that got in there. Historically UConn isn't in the top 25 for these lists (and that's OK as we have seen the last 25 years). Here's a recent example:

This is all we get, and it's only thanks to Title IX.

It's a start. Thanks.
