That is a very informative graph, compiled by the dept of education?

I'd like to know the qualifiers, and how they compiled this, but I'm not disputing the findings - I'd just like to see the breakdown. I'd also like to see athletic budgets as a whole put into a graph as well, but even that can be misleading. For instance - are we talking salaries? Stadiums? Number of personnel? Cost of scholarships? Institutional support, and numerous other factors. We do know that players salaries and NIL are not included, right? What exactly is that money spent on, and who reported those numbers? I am from the camp that conferences should have a minimum amount that should be spent for football, a bar for facilities, and a number of other factors. I think FSU and others that have been investing into their programs have a legitimate gripe, especially when others in the conference seem to just cash the checks, and nothing ever changes. Also, I'd be interested in the comparison before the recent realignment started with Texas and Oklahoma. Spending for one year for some (Duke?) does not show how they have invested in the past - which would be very telling.

That graphic is the work of Tony Altimore. The data comes from The Dept.

Pay based on merit is always a good idea. But might not be enough for FSU.

Are those just proposals? What would it take for the top teams of the ACC
