Interestingly, the BE (and B12) spend the most $$, on average, on their mens BB programs, of any conference -- about 8-9 million a year. I found that surprising. If that data is correct, maybe money matters more then you realize. If they (BE, UCONN, ect.) suddenly drop from top spenders to mid level spenders, will that not effect the results on the court, in the tournament, ect.? That's my point. The rich conferences have had such a sudden influx of new money with the recent media deals, maybe the UCONN and BE schools will not be able to keep up. They've kept up so far by apparently funding their programs at a top level, but can that continue when the top level is stretched upward. We'll see.
