Stockholm Syndrome if you take comfort in a government report/site.

I'd much rather believe an independent company doing its own research than a report from the government.

Right, like I said take it with a grain of salt. Divide the "operating expenses per team" (133000, if that is an actual or estimated number) by the actual number of athletes (180) and all of a sudden the "opperating expenses per player" drops almost 500 dollars.
I'll ask next time I'm around what the actual amount of scholarship dollars is that they have to work with.

What's the actual scholarship amount butler has?
My guess would be books and tuition equate to at least $3000, times their 85 scholarships equals $255000.

And lets not exclude the fact that this site shows that IW has 11 part time assistant coaches, zero full time assistants; while butler has 3 full time assistant coaches and 2 part time (both excluding the head coach) so like I said IW must spread their $ around unlike butler.

Word I'd IW has a shade under $200000 worth of scholarship dollars to work with.
Yes they could potentially full a player, but in comparison to what buco has to offer it doesn't seem feasible that they would put in all that money to a kid. They also stated there are 0 players with full rides on their roster.

Any word on bucos figures?
