Fascinating.  For the year 2008, the most recent year available - football spending:

University of Mary Hardin-Baylor   TX   974833 (#2)
East Texas Baptist University   TX   589888 (#6)
Louisiana College   LA   532123 (#10)
Texas Lutheran University   TX   530765 (#11)
Hardin-Simmons University   TX   515000 (#13)
Mississippi College   MS   491677 (#21)
Howard Payne University   TX   457237 (#30)
McMurry University   TX   440394 (#39)
Sul Ross State University   TX   134094 (#221)


Some SCAC schools for comparison:

Birmingham Southern College   AL   1190265 (#1)
Millsaps College   MS   591682 (#5)
DePauw University   IN   511341 (#14)
Trinity University   TX   361692 (#84)
Colorado College   CO   309575 (#134)
Austin College   TX   291022 (#142)

B-SC and UMHB were #1 and #2 by a significant margin.  #3 was St. Vincent College ($600K).

Unless the numbers are compiled the same, you are comparing apples to oranges.
At Sul Ross the coaches teach. At UMHB none of the coaches teach.

I would imagine that the Department of Education does its best to ensure the numbers are consistent.

Its in the air!  Went to HEB @ 615 this morning and the lights were on @ McMurry's Wilford Moore Stadium.  Article about starting camp in today's reporter news.  I am ready for kick off baby

[Kelly Boggs]

Ditto, Toby, it is indeed in the air!

LC players reported yesterday. First practice this afternoon. Among the players reporting are three players from my son's high school: Terrance Dorsey, James Woods and Torrey Boggs.

What do the coaches at SRS teach and does anyone know if that is a common practice for the ASC schools?

[Toby Taff]

If y'all want some info on what's going on @ McM check out today's abilene reporter news @ http://www.reporternews.com.  There's an article on Stephen Warren's transfer to McM.  Warren was the QB at Abilene High for the 08-09 season and is the son of AHS head coach Steve Warren.

[question]

Every year I look at the McMurry roster to start the season.  There was a RB named Justin Johnson a transfer from ACU.  I think this was the same kid from Gilmer who orginally signed with Oklahoma.  He was a top  100 recruit a couple years ago.  I was just wandering if that is the same kid. I also saw that the first team all conference WR did not return.

State schools usually have great facilities, but being funded by states, have lower budgets.
