2018-2019 CAA Men's Basketball Spending
https://www.three-man-weave.com/3mw/col ... dgets-2020 has 2018-2019 Men's Basketball budgets. It excludes Air Force, Army, Navy, and LIU (service academies and LIU that merged). It includes Division II budgets for Merrimack whose first Division I season was 2019-2020, and UC San Diego, Bellarmine, Tarleton State, and Dixie State who will move up to Division I. It has 353 schools. The mean is $4,204,020, and the median is UC Riverside with $2,485,812. 109 schools (30.88 percent) spend above the mean, which is why the mean is so much higher than the media. The range is Duke spending $22,178,473 to Alcorn State spending $533,743. I read that the top schools spend more per player than the bottom schools spend on their whole team. If you define a team as 15 players (more than the scholarship limit, but teams have walk-ons and can use 18+ players in a season), Duke spent more per player than 66 schools (18.70 percent) did.

The CAA ranks 12th of 32 conferences, which is surprising because it ranked 18th in attendance and had no conference-wide TV deal in 2018-2019, so I would expect CAA teams to spend less. Here are the CAA teams:

114. W&M: $3,970,949
134. Charleston: $3,289,426
137. Elon: $3,221,829
139. Northeastern: $3,207,255
152. Hofstra: $2,939,154
158. Delaware: $2,785,559
160. Drexel: $2,760,011
161. JMU: $2,709,807
193. UNCW: $2,317,837
199. Towson: $2,259,918
Mean: $2,946,174.50 (four schools spend more than the mean)
Median (mean of middle two numbers): $2,862,356.50
Ratio of highest to lowest: 1.757
Mean of six public schools: $2,888,916
Mean of four private schools (Elon, Northeastern, us, and Drexel): $3,032,062.25
Mean of five schools that play Football (W&M, Elon, Delaware, JMU, and Towson): $2,989,612.40
Mean of five schools that do not play Football: $2,902,736.60
Mean of five schools from the America East: $2,790,379.40
Mean of five schools in VA, NC, and SC: $3,101,969.60

I gave decimal places in the means even though it wasn't in the original data. I'm not suggesting that categories such as being public or private affect how much money schools spend, but I'm giving it to compare the categories.

RE: 2018-2019 CAA Men's Basketball Spending
Yep I noted these back in March on the JMU board when they started talking about whether they spend enough comparatively for basketball vs football. I had posted 2016 numbers as well so we could see how much it changed and it was pretty drastic.

Spending difference between 2016 and 2018

W&M: 1.9M
Elon: 1.34M
Charleston: 870K
Northeastern: 470K
Hofstra: 330K
Delaware: 320K
Towson: 310K
Drexel: (100K)
JMU: (200K)
UNCW: (660K)

To me it is interesting that the top 3 spending teams in 2016 (UNCW, JMU, Drexel), shrunk their budget the most in the 2018 and 3 of bottom 4 spending (Charleston, W&M, Elon) are now the 3 highest spending schools. Overall spending is up, which is good. In 2016 0 teams spent over 3M on men's basketball (UNCW was closest at 2.98M) and now in 2018 we have 4 schools spending that much and nearly a 5th (Hofstra)
