I mean, the salary of our head coach and staff says otherwise. And the fact that we just had donors send an entire football team to Europe for the 2nd time in a row....
Again, expenses change year to year. Alabama might be throwing more money at football now days but the benefits of doing so could be seen as minimal. By that, I mean if paying players were truly a thing I don't think Michigan would have a problem shelling out the money. Just like we don't have a problem shelling out the money for a coaching staff. When you look at the budget for normal things, most teams in the top 10 don't have a problem spending money on a the major things. The $20 million dollars more Bama spends is due to a variety of minor things.I'm not doing the math, but Alabama spent 20 million more than Michigan, which is like 40% more or something.
And it also spends 14 million more than 2nd place.
Hell Texas is way down at 19 and they only spend 6 million less than Michigan.
If you can't see the gap, then whatever - I don't really expect much from you anyway. The point is and was - Alabama/Saban will spend the money, everyone else won't. All that money you see there in the numbers now is largely spent on the players.
Michigan and Alabama are almost equal.
It would be if you just read that out of context snippet.Too dumb to spend my time on.
