James Madison $ 10,649,299
Montana State $ 8,709,180
Montana $ 8,620,428
Delaware $ 8,313,306
Fordham $ 7,594,200
Furman $ 7,366,155
William and Mary $ 7,073,588

Alabama A & M $ 6,471,494
Bucknell $ 6,192,470
North Dakota State $ 6,048,728
To be fair, NDSU is probably the only one who doesn't have to pay for stadium upgrades, turf replacements, or general maintenance.

Montana State's head coach 4 years ago was complaining how unfair NDSU's resources are to the rest of the subdivision
If these numbers are even accurate, all this shows is what a goat rope trying to break out expenses by sport. Then you have the fact we're in a City-owned stadium, etc. This is exactly why the mysterious "where are we going to come up with $20M more dollars per year if we go Mountain West" trope is unfounded.
Outside the Valley and maybe the Montana's, no one comes close to our resources. A very, very large reason why we've won 9 of the last 10 championships.
Montana State has made a ton of renovations to their faciliites, those numbers are in their budget. Specific sport budget numbers don't mean jack squat. Yeah, we build a $50 million IPF but underfund our program, people don't be ridiculous.
I will go on record that this year's playoffs is infinitely more interesting to me than waiting to play in some random bowl game in the middle of next week.
I’ve said this before, if NDSU owned and operated the Fargodome, our football budget would be in line with JMU on the list above. This list is not comparing apples to apples.Quote:
