The University’s athletic department has $23.7 million in expenses, the smallest in the MAC this year. The department continues to look for ways to be more efficient and use funds in the best way possible.
“Our budget has stayed relatively flat,” Athletic Director Bob Moosbrugger said. “We did ask our coaches to plan for a 5 percent cut in their budget.”
However, the department also faces the challenge of managing the current budget with rising expenses, which, according to USA Today, are increasing for schools across the board.
“Even though our revenue has stayed flat, our expenses are going up,” Moosbrugger said.
