I wonder what UNC's budget is. I'll bet it's at least 7M. Marquette spends about 8M.

No surprise we come in last.

They spend the least of any ACC team, over $700k less than Georgia Tech, who ranks 11th in the conference in terms of budget.

You probably have to figure in cost of living. If they are playing for apartments for athletes or for coaches and staff, well Chicago can very expensive.

Evanston is not as expensive as Brooklyn or the Bronx, and yet LIU and Manhattan are regularly at the bottom of that list. Ohio '99 EMU '00 USF '08(?)
