Re: Severe Ronaldstorm Warning: the Michigan Tech 2010-11 Season Thread, Part the Sec
Two excellent sites for college athletic budgets. You can find Tech's info on the second site.

Tech's total AD budget is at the bottom of the WCHA and isn't even in sight of the Big Ten schools total budgets. As far as the hockey budget goes they maybe a lot closer to what the other schools are spending, but they are still at the bottom of the league.
For Tech, there is no breakdown that shows their marketing budget and this is one area where tech is truly at a major disadvantage. Some of the Big 10 schools athletic departments are spending 1.5 to 2 million on marketing. As we know Tech (Athletic Department and/or the school as a whole) does almost no marketing downstate.
When it comes to WCHA "welfare" how is that different from schools that balance their books with the money pooled from other schools in their league appearances in BCS games? Or worse, athletic departments that balance their books by borrowing from their schools general fund. That sounds like the true "welfare" to me!
For a great look at the slimy side of big time college finances go get a copy of Death to the BCS.
Division 1 BCS schools increasingly dependent on subsidies from the schools general funds.
