If you haven’t noticed, it’s the offseason, AKA the time for grandiose statistical projects. Yesterday, I got tipped off to Basketball State’s rather amazing list of total athletic expenses for DI schools and decided to have a gander at it. Naturally, my curiosity was stoked as I began to wonder which schools were getting their money’s worth as far as results on the field were concerned. So a day of number crunching later, I’ve come up with a loose metric to measure just that.

Simply, I divided the amount a school spent in athletic expenses by the amount of Learfield Director’s Cup points a school gained for the previous school year. It’s not perfect by any means on either expense and performance measures, but it’s still pretty interesting to look at. Schools who didn’t tally a point in the Director’s Cup aren’t listed, while neither are the few schools who financial information wasn’t available for. It gets a little wobbly with the smaller conferences, but I still found it interesting.
