Somebody mentioned "don't bit*ch, be better" or something to that affect.
Looking forward to 9/21 in Fargo.
Every team in the country is working to change the balance of power in the FCS. These programs sure as hell aren't crying about NDSU being too good. They just want to beat the hell out of them.

A huge reason for that budget disparity is because the "cost" of tuition/room and board/fees are included in it. You need to pull those numbers out to get a true comparison on what a school actually spends on a sport. Just a $5K difference in tuition price over 63 scholarships is over $300K.

How much of JMU's budget is related to facility debt service for things like the upgrade to Bridgeforth or Performance Center that was brought on line in 2005? I can't find their EADA report that shows any sort of breakdown.
Overall point is there is a ton of leeway in how those numbers are reported and what goes into them, especially since most schools don't make the underlying data that goes into the reports readily available.
