For all you critics who say the university does not really care about mens basketball, it appears that is not the case based on the 2012 spending. It appers to me that our spending on mens basketball is in the top 30% of the MAAC teams and we are not getting a very good return on investment. It is hard for me to believe that the university generates $16.5M of revenue from athletics?

The 16.5M equals the expenses.
RE: the spending number - since we don't have details on what compromises the number, especially vs. competition, it's not really informative. If, for instance, we have an academic support person that's added to our number and another school adds that person to another non-athletics category, then we're not comparing apples to apples

It doesn't, the shortfall is taken from general fund to zero it out. Vast majority of athletic programs in D1 make no money. The ones that do make money also report making no money. It gets counted as something else. Ahhhhhhh non-profit accounting !
I do not know much about university accounting, but I do know that of 2.2 million dollars of Men's Basketball expenses, one of the major expenses is usually the 13 Scholarships. And one thing to keep in mind is that a Fairfield Scholarship costs about 5-20 thousand dollars more that other MAAC Schools. 13 scholarships * 70K = 910K.
The 2nd biggest expense is usually the Coaches salaries. Sydney, 3 assistants and a DBO would likely add up to 600K
The 3rd biggest expense would be recruiting, and I have no idea what that would be, but 10 years ago it was about 150K, so lets say its now 300K.
The 4th biggest expense would probably be travel for 20 people to away games. 20 games times 5K a game = 100K

Interesting. Then because we charge more for tuition naturally our expenses are higher?
There is accounting involved in this exercise. My understanding is Quinnipiac classifies many expenses related to sports outside of the sports themselves. They seem to have more support staff dedicated than Fairfield even though Fairfield theoretically spends more. That from a friend who worked for both institutions who feel Fairfield lacks a division I level support staff....
The sports staff at Fairfield is abhorrent. No updates on any sites, posting scores and results days late. Posting wrong results such as having us lose to Bucknell in lax.
Honestly a better business model would be to fire everyone and just let the posters on this board do their work for them. We work for free and are more passionate and detail oriented.
I have seen some recent posts that donations for Rafferty stadium are underway. Outside of this message board I have received nothing from the University asking for donations from me and I donate annually directly to the lax and bball team. I may not donate much, but the University is really turning me off with how inefficient and costly it takes them to perform below average tasks. Reminds me of government workers.

Brokenboat has this right. There is zero accountability in sports information, it is run like a high school program.
