While I don't know what the current numbers are and perhaps they've changed, in the past UF has spent 2-3 million dollars more in total operating budget for men's basketball in most years than UGA did each year.

But perhaps White is getting the school to change that. It's not like we don't have the money to spend. While fans don't care about sports other than football all that much the football revenue we earn gives us a ton of money that could be used to prop up other sports. Right now we mostly just save it or spend it on football recruiting (our FB recruiting budget is more than we spend on any coach other than Smart).

I could see an Auburn type environment in Athens if Georgia could find some sustained success in shooty hoops. Georgia has loyal fans, and you guys would support basketball if the program became successful, I have no doubt.
