Sometimes when governmental organizations prepare reports like this not everybody categorizes their costs the same.
I see where
ISU listed $852,000 for recruiting and Iowa $762,000.
Iowa has a athletic support staff cost of $9,000,000 where as
ISU is $4,900,000. Do you suppose some of that $4,100,000 difference is spent by people working on recruiting.
One other thing about the report really stands out. Iowa spends $4,995,000 on team travel (all sports).
ISU spends $1,618,000. We have approxomately the same number of teams and the same travel distances. I guess they must really go first class.
