Duke reported spending $82 million on athletics in 2020

Privates may not be required to report, but a surprising number self-report. That means one of the most successful private athletic programs in the country spent about same amount as Kansas State. Duke is a good sized private U sitting on a $15 billion dollar endowment (that dwarfs 99%+ of every public school), yet athletic spending isn’t even top 50. There is Notre Dame and then everybody else when it comes to private schools, and Miami is in no danger regardless.

The very idea of VT being on board with this would be deeply troubling if

VCU, not ODU, was kicked out of Metro with us.**

The VA Attorney General was going to sue Loserville and the Metro.

I don’t see why I’m supposed to care about Wake, BC, et al. athletics…

I tend to agree with you. But there is one difference in this case.

You might be right........

Nope, they were kicked out. **
RJHokie • 05/21/24 02:10 PM ET
Temple is the only member with the distinction of being kicked out twice.

VT was the only NO vote on the Temple Big East expulsion IIRC.**

Temple went 14-81 in the BE and didn’t meet attendance goals

Temple was in the BE football only

Big12 guy • 05/21/24 03:26 PM ET
If it takes a 75% vote, you won't be able to expel more than three.
wwhokie1 • 05/21/24 09:37 AM ET
.75 vote does not include member being expelled.**

For other sports yes.
