March Madness - budget style
I know this is kind of trivial (the bracket part anyways), but I've always found it entertaining to see how much money is involved with each team of any sport.
Here is what the bracket would look like if the school with the highest basketball budget won each match-up of this year's NCAA Tournament:
Eight schools had men’s basketball program expenses over $10 million: Kentucky ($18.9 million), Louisville ($17.9 million), Duke ($17.9 million), Arizona ($11.8 million), Florida State ($11.7 million), Kansas ($11.6 million), Marquette ($11.3 million) and Michigan State ($10.4 million).
Anybody surprised by any of these basketball budgets, whether it's low or high? I'm personally shocked FSU spent $11.7 million and even more shocked that they spent more than KU, an NCAA basketball powerhouse. I'm also a little surprised Marquette's budget is 7th highest.
A lot of these teams are actually profitable and so they can justify spending more. Kentucky's Revenue was like $27m.
