I'm sorry I'm not buying this article....
They have both MBB & WBB listings on there.... They have VCU WBB listed as 41st? Ahead of Duke, Tennessee!!!!, JMU!!!!, among countless others
I'm sorry but AIN'T NO FREAKING WAY.... our WBB Program is the 41st most valuable "enterprise" in the the NCAA.
I wanna know how they determined this list..... cause unless stuff like the RAF & such are getting factored into the equation some how..... there aint no dang way our WBB enterprise is Top 40-50 in the country.... NO FREAKING SHOT.
This list is a fraud

There is absolutely no way, considering we can barely manage about 300 fans per game unless we either bus in kids or have some sort of promotion.

Dayton is worth more than U Texas? I am dubious of his methodology

only thing I could think of is they may have heavily weighted this to money spent on our Womens team which in the most recent financial statement for the year ending 6/30/24, VCU spent $4.35 million dollars on women's basketball

Does it break down what that $4.35 million was spent on?
Was it salary for the coaching staff? Was it money for the players? Does it include Marketing for games (which they went all in for the SupportHer game.... and maybe the Senior Day/Homecoming/Alumni game?
Or is/was that a combination of all of that?
