re: 2026-27 Gators Men’s Basketball

I like that we are giving it a go with Aberdeen, I'm assuming the coaches and admin feel pretty good about him getting a waiver. It's hard to see them going this route and potentially hurting chances with guys in the portal without some kind of confidence. TG wants to win big next year!

FWIW - here is what chatgpt returns on EADA reporting
quote:
No Standardized Accounting: Unlike corporate financial reporting, EADA data allows for varying interpretations of expenses, making it hard to compare "apples to apples" between institutions.
Inconsistent Cost Categorization: Schools choose differently whether to include certain capital expenses, coaching salaries, or indirect institutional overhead in their reports.
Revenue Recognition Timing: Reporting of donor contributions often varies based on when the funds are received versus when they are spent, leading to discrepancies.
Practice Player & Roster Discrepancies: Treatment of practice players, multi-sport athletes, and non-duplicated student-athlete counts causes inaccuracies in participation numbers.
Lack of Rigorous Review: Unlike NCAA financial reports, EADA reports do not always require external review, increasing the likelihood of reporting errors.

So still no source.
Not sure what source you want, I'm just saying the way these EADA reports work. Was something I was involved with for a while. I can grab UF's budget I guess if you need to see it, it's on their website. UGA makes theirs readily available too.

Every single article will quote the EADA reports because they are the easiest to find. They just aren't a clear picture of what is happening. UF isn't spending $220M on athletics and only $45M on football. Same with Texas. What one school calls a football expense is called something else for the other.

I've only done 16 "football" schools so far and we're dead last in spending.
Every single school reports their spending differently, especially on the EADA reporting which is where this data comes from. Should be pretty obvious given the massive gaps between some of these schools. Texas has the largest athletic budget in the country, Bama is not spending $50M more a year than Texas on football.
UF is also one of the biggest spenders in college athletics (and makes all spending publicly available online in case you want to check it out). Annual budgets well over $200M a year. Can assure you far more than 25% of that budget is spent towards football.

Florida is a huge brand. I'll never understand why they don't invest more in the program.
Not sure there is really that much more space to invest. We have had shite hires squandering resources. UF is one of the biggest spenders in the sport.

In fairness it’s the #1 question every Gator fan has asked since the renovation has been announced. Everyone assumed there’d be a reduction converting to chairbacks. This basically confirms we’ll be adding new levels above the east stands.
re: Arkansas has the most NCAA tourney wins in the SEC since 2015
Posted by bgator85 on 3/22/26 at 7:23 am to hawgfaninc
UF and Arkansas entered the second round with 13 wins since 2015. If UF wins tonight both would be tied again. Hopefully we meet you at 14. :cheers:
No, he didn’t. It was just that kind of game.

And still the only team in history that returned all 5 starters and repeated as national champions. Have to be up there for accomplishment alone. Doesn't hurt that 3 of them went in top 9 of the draft, first trio from one school to all go in top 10.

Conference champ and Tourney Champ?
I don't watch basketball so perhaps there's a reason they don't do this but should. Makes the conference wins more important.
That's what it is. UF got the SEC Championship this year. Arkansas got the SEC Tournament trophy. Two separate titles for two different accomplishments.

I don't know if UF is the best but we have 3 AP #1 finishes in football and 3 NCAA titles in basketball.
In the modern era, UF has to be the standard does it not? No one else is winning titles in both the last 30 years, not to mention multiples in both
re: QUESTION:Longest NCAA tournament win drought for each SEC team (since 64 team expansion)?
Posted by bgator85 on 3/19/26 at 10:22 am to lsufball19
OP said 64 team expansion, so I am guessing we are looking for longest droughts starting with the 1985 tournament.
UF's first win was 1987, but '87 and '88 were vacated. So our first official win was also first year we went to F4 - 1994. So I guess 1985 to 1994 for UF

Spurrier wanted him number unretired, and so all were and that has been the standard ever since he was coach.

Kentucky has more sweet 16 appearances than any other SEC program has NCAA tourney appearances.
Not sure stuff before the expanded field should really be counted using the modern nomenclature.
A S16 as we know it is indicative of a team making it out of the first weekend of the tournament. Some of the S16's that are being counted here are from an era where the field was literally only 16 teams.

Not accurate. UF has 11, 12 if you included a vacated season. UF has 10 E8 appearances.

Leaving the SEC is suicide. See GaTech, Tulane
IDK, not that we would but I think UF would survive just fine if it was in the Big 10
Trying to compare operational expenses is nearly impossible since every school categorizes differently. It's a fun thing to look at, but probably not very accurate.

I can't really fault Pearl for lobbying for Auburn and his son. CBS knew what they were doing and wanted to generate social media buzz.

So the committee thought it was funny slotting it where we might play Vandy again in the Sweet 16 while giving Houston things gift wrapped until the Elite Eight game which is a home game for them...
If Vandy was a 4 seed or better (as everyone predicted) by rule they would have to be in a different region. But of course they moved them down to a 5... and the East gets 0 SEC teams somehow.
Still though - we have a very winnable region. We should expect to at least get to the E8 against these teams.
