14 of the bottom 19 are California schools. I guess CA schools can get schools from other states to come to sunny CA and play.

The deep pockets that seems out of place are BCS and ACC school Maryland plus Ivy Leaguer Penn.

Did UCSB fail to report?

I'm surprised that Texas and their $120 million athletic revenue isn't in the top 20.

How much will Long Beach St.'s sight seeing trip to Washington D.C. move them up the list for next season?

[form]

Sorry, somehow UCSB got jetisoned when I sorted... have now added back in above...they are $57K.. # 1 in Big West

LB... adds maybe $3K total (since the trip only replaces another trip so only airfare is more) ... actually cheaper than UCI, UCSB and CSUN's recent long weekend vacations to Hawaii the past two seasons.

Maybe you can explain how such an annually low budget has won 6 years in a row?

I hear LB is making another 'sight seeing' trip as you call them in 2011.... including DePaul and Notre Dame. Jealous?

I recall Hawaii playing at Northridge 3 of the last 4 years. Maybe you're confusing CSUN with Cal Poly who played at Hawaii last season?

I don't know about UCSB and Cal Poly but UCI stayed in Hawaii for a whole week and not just a weekend.
It helps when you have players from Hawaii that can house the team.

I'm glad not jealousy with LBS representing the Big West on East Coast trips.

I just called the D.C. trip as sightseeing since the 49ers don't have to worry about the tennis part which is just a walk in the Lincoln Park. I guess what they say about Washington D.C. being visited by foreign tourists more than American tourists is true.

Had to come out of the woodworks and say that was pretty darn funny .

[form]

Funny line.... I'll be sure to get foreign citizenship before I go on the trip with the team too... a bunch of us are going so we'll be sure to cheer for all the other countries in the olympics too.

Funny story... since the LB team has 2 so cal kids of the 8 last year... Story goes: There is a recruit from South Bay this fall who is interested in LB... approaches one of the So Cal girls at a junior tourney (she's wstchin her younger sister)... says 'I am interested in LB but your coach only recruits int'l girls'

LB girl from South Bay looks at her dumbfounded... 'uh, I'm from same high school as you. and my teammmate is from anaheim'

Mallarky like Gouci and this fear of playing the best never seems to end. And UCI has had int'l girls, Cal Poly leads the world in whining about it and he has a couple.. etc...



TO BE THE BEST, YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE BEST

Or you have to be a US Citizen who says 'but I'm an American and my mommy promised I'd have a job'

Maybe it's time for the LBS head coach to cash in her 6 straight Big West Tournament titles to get a BCS coaching job before UCI wins 6 in a row?

Ex. The LBS coach had a better resume than the last coach Michigan hired who was the former FIU coach.

Is the LBS coach waiting for the UCI job to open up through retirement in about a dozen years? That would feel kind of awkward for us.

In a more serious note the LMU coach has probably been an AARP member for some years. He's close to early retirement with the quality of LMU teams lately. Maybe about 5 years away? And speaking of South Bay, LMU is the closest school to Long Beach St. distance wise so the LBS coach wouldn't even have to relocate.

[form]

UCI job would be interesting... certainly easier to recruit So Cal kids

Pretty widely known around LB that LBSU coach turned down an unexpected inquiry and offer for Big 10 job two summers ago... not relocating for family reasons (husband and child)

Given the downward budget situation at the UC's and CSU's... that LMU job may be a plumb if he does ever retire.

Did you know the CSULA job paid $90K this summer... with head coach and as asst turning it down before it was taken by ex Texas Tech coach. Now that is incredible money for a bad location.
