How much money does VCU have?

[Dukester]

They have commercials on every CAA sports telecast.

The NCAA tournaments must be lucrative for the school.

I believe this is some of the Final Four earnings being used to promote the school. I've noticed they are airing school commercials during all men's and women's CAA basketball games this year. Even when VCU isn't playing.

Well Dukester, since 09 wasn't able to provide you with the factual anwer you appear to be seeking, here it is:

Hello JMU - There's a HUGE cost to investing little into JMU basketball.

I wasn't talking about the convo. I was talking about trying to catch ODU, GMU, VCU while paying a coach a fraction of what they are willing to pay a coach. I believe we are paying less than 50% of what those coaches are paid.

That's what makes JMU less attractive, not the convo.
