It amazes me that small schools like Gonzaga, and recently St. Peters are able to compete with the larger schools in basketball. Indiana has a student enrollment of approximately 43,000. Gonzonga has an enrollment of about 10,000. St. Peter's has an enrollment of about 3,000. During the 2018-2019 season I.U. spent more on basketball recruitment than any other school in the nation, approximately $645,000. During those years I.U. out spent both Kentucky and Kansas on recruiting. I don't know how much I.U. spends on the total basketball program, but I imagine that it dwarfs the budget of schools like Gonzaga. If I.U. was a corporation and the CEO returned such dismal results for this type of spending, the board of directors would be livid. People on this site get mad when I.U.'s basketball program is criticized. Nevertheless, when this much money is poured into a program, I think people have a right to expect more than mediocre results.
