2017 PL Football Budgets – Fordham's Budget Increases Over $1 Million Year-over-Year

[ramMan]

The US Dept. of Ed published the latest athletic budget data earlier this week. Listed below are the football budgets for the PL schools.
Fordham's football budget increased a whopping $1 million year-over-year (from $6,003,614 to $7,060,178). Fordham's overall athletic budget increased by $2.5 million (from $30.6 million to $33.1 million).
When I first started tracking Fordham's athletic budget a few years before Fr. McShane was named university president, the University's overall athletic budget was a little over $3 million. There have been massive yearly budget increases under McShane's leadership, particularly the athletic scholarship budget (now at $14 million).

Fordham $7,060,178
Lafayette $6,581,062
Holy Cross $6,162,749
Colgate $5,899,143
Bucknell $5,672,257
Lehigh $5,301,592
Georgetown $2,117,506
