[StrangeVol]

Are those numbers for income or expense?

 

[omghulkhands]

Wow. No wonder Rick is trying to pay assistants out of pocket.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

That’s a lot of numbers.

 

[WillieGault]

Are those numbers for income or expense?

Budgets relate to expenses (what a company spends on salaries, etc).

 

[BigZiti09]

Would love to see us spend more. I think we have an untapped potential in hoops.

Tennessee has always took the approach of "let's wait til we are winning to throw money at it" and I expect that's what they will do here. Barnes needs to push for some $$$ to be thrown at the program this offseason if things continue to trend up.

I am curious what area you think the increase should be put to use in from the budget?

 

[BigZiti09]

I am curious where you think the increase should come from in budget?

Recruiting budget. Marketing. Facilities.

 

[kyvol98]

Georgetown sure isn't getting their moneys worth.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I'd bet that number includes debt payments related to bonds used when Pratt was built and the TBA was renovated.

 

[BruinVol]

Recruiting budget. Marketing. Facilities.

I would love to see the recruiting budget but for every sport I have ever seen reported Tenn is always at the top in the nation for recruiting already. I am betting we already spent all we need there.

Marketing I could see.


Facilities we already have great facilities. The only thing Kentucky has that we don't is the residence for the players so maybe that's something we could do.

 

[CladInOrange]

I know this is a basketball comment, but it shows who is a basketball school and who is a football school.

Like Texas, Washington, Auburn, Alabama, Va Tech? All in the top 25 and all "football" schools

I've never seen anything listed for recruiting budget except football where we spend a ton.

We have great facilities but I think we could continue to do better there. Not sure what we are missing but I'm sure there's something else we can do. Pratt Pavilion is not brand new anymore.

I just think we could become the 2nd best program in this conference if we truly committed to winning at hoops.

I saw baseballs recruiting budget listed somewhere a few years back and it was at the top of the SEC

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Trip to Europe
Holiday Tournaments
Out of state tuition
Locker room renovations

possibly even an allocation of AD administrative costs are included.

 

[BruinVol]

There is about a 12 mil difference from Kentucky to ours. About half that is coaching salaries is my guess. I am wondering how the operating cost of Rupp and TBA compare.

How much of that is used on players?

How about a raise for him and his assistants?

Giving them more won't make us better and wouldn't move us up the chart here really unless you plan on giving them about $3m more.

They will get raises/extensions though no doubt.

There is about a 12 mil difference from Kentucky to ours. About half that is coaching salaries is my guess. I am wondering how the operating cost of Rupp and TBA compare.

Rupp is owned by Lexington Center Corp. so there is a cost there.

This is from Dec 2016:

▪ UK has agreed to an annual base lease payment of $1.9 million to Lexington Center. That payment will increase by 2.4 percent each year.

▪ UK will pay Lexington Center $4.75 million each year for media rights.

▪ Lexington Center will receive 15 percent of merchandise sales and will be paid a not-yet-decided amount for parking.

▪ Lexington Center has agreed to add four club suites to Rupp Arena and to change roughly 10,584 upper-level seats from benches to chair-back seats. The cost of those changes will not exceed $15 million.

It's possible that the top spenders include transportation expenses while TN and others use donor planes and don't include the costs as an expense.

It's possible that the top spenders include transportation expenses while TN and others use donor planes and don't include the costs as an expense.

Also possible that those numbers are garbage.
