Interesting article today from CBS. Dollar figures could be off a bit but I think this is probably pretty accurate in general.

One thing that jumps out to me is that obviously keeping a roster is generally cheaper than going out in buying one unless you have a couple of fringe lottery picks you're trying to hold onto like Florida.

Surprising to me:

South Carolina and Ole Miss - $15M+ for teams that project as fringe bubble? Yikes
Maryland - Lower than I expected given who they brought in, but if anyone would be good at keeping the real number a secret it's Buzz
Baylor - I know we made a pact to say that season doesn't count, but this is the 2021 National Champions, what are they doing in tier 4?
Syracuse, Iowa State - Tier 5? What are we doing here?

Somehow I doubt our numbers.

the B10 has a MBB spending cap?

No. I think they're just saying a bunch of Big Ten teams aren't spending like the SEC teams.

got it, i can't read at work so i was reading on my iphone so i misread that i guess

TN looks like they wasted some of their money after last nights scrimmage against Duke.

I said this in another thread but I think this is going to be a pretty rough start to the season for Tennessee.

They changed up this season and went out and bought some offensive firepower with the hope that Barnes can coach them up on defense, but that's probably going to take time.

They play Michigan State in mid-November and then open the Players Era with Maryland, those could be some hideous games.

I'd say the amount of buzz around Maryland is slightly higher than last year.
