Thanks - Interesting numbers here - WCC teams not that far apart? If reliable, we should be ahead of Portland - no? But their weather is better. Just stream of consciouness thougths.
I take it these figures don't tell the whole story - like academic standards and expectations for one item.

These #'s can't be right... UCLA probably pays Howland close to 2 Million for his salary alone. Perhaps these numbers are probably what the University alone gives to the programs - Not including donors? I know for one that the UCLA alumni base gives exponentially more than what we give... Mostly because their alumni base (and BBall tradition) greatly exceed ours.

these rankings and ap rankings somewhat similar!

wrschnicke, like reality the more money you spend doesn't exactly mean the more success you will have. There are schools ranked way below LMU that won more than 3 games. There are other variables involved other than money! The WCC is pretty even considering SMC out in the middle of suburbia's cost of living is no where near that of Los Angeles.

lmu2008, this info was pulled from the Equity in Athletics Database part of the Department of Education. I'd figure it is pretty accurate but they do sound low. I think you are right in that this does not include "donor" contribution.

Here is the link to get more in-depth stats. ope.ed.gov/athletics/GetOneInstitutionData.aspx

Looking at UCLA it is interesting that they pay far far far more on football than basketball. Proof for wrschnicke that you don't always get what you pay for!
