The last NCAA tournament champion is from the ACC. I fail to understand your point. The ACC isn't one of the conferences needing to make excuses for failing to win for a decade.

The one year that no one should use to draw conclusions is 2021. This should be obvious.

You don't have to be concerned with that. That is beyond silly.

Yes. The magic of The Contract was the combination of no buyout plus the automatic rollover.

We should ask the AD. Wait, they don't have one.

FSU is punishing those rims with some serious bricks. They may need to change them at the half.

Leave out the NBA stuff and continue the thought. Better players staying longer, getting more experience, and playing together for more than one year leads to better top teams.

That makes sense. Someone with college experience to help Woodson transition.

There is no accounting standard for these numbers. Some schools include basketball recruiting expenses in the basketball budget, others have them in a general recruiting budget, others do it differently from that. The numbers aren't accurate enough to draw much of a conclusion.

VCU's $35M athletic budget is subsidized by a whopping $21M in student fees. Just an FYI. You are correct about the expectations.
