Uconn is now the largest public athletic department not in Power 5

[Marty Jackson]

#33 Uconn spends $63M... Ahead of Rutgers, MD, Clemson, GT, Arizona and Arizona State.
as of 2011...

I looked pretty quickly, but didn't see any other school with larger budget outside of the new Power 5 conferences. FWIW, UofL is up there at $83M...

Good find. Probably means were next. I'm reaching here.

even sadder is that Uconn will be about $20M ahead of any other school in the NBE including Cincy...
Didn't realize the gap between UofL and Cincy.... almost $40M ($82M vs $42M)

Can we continue to spend like this in this conference?

Can we continue to spend like this in this conference?

Not unless you find a revenue stream to replace what is going to be lost.
