I don't believe OSU would be that close, maybe OKST and Iowa...

Found this on another site...

"Ohio RTC is in a position where they need to fundraise to cover expenses every year. Hawkeye RTC somewhere around $5MM and 2x the budget.
Cowboy RTC had a huge cash injection recently, coinciding with Chad Richinson's arrival as the largest booster in all of college wrestling--also backstopping D.T.'s 6 year ~$6.5MM deal (before incentive bonuses)."

Ohio State Men's Ice Hockey (2019 B1G Champions)

ORD_Buckeye
Looks like we're not losing any production to the portal. Three skaters who scored a total of four points and a backup goalie. The improvement and finish that this team showed the last third of the season and not losing key returnees to the portal has me pretty optimistic that we will challenge for the B1G title and an ncaa berth next year.

2026-27 Ohio State Men's Basketball

For those with a short-term memory (me), Gene Smith led the charge to concentrate funds on the 'Director's Cup' athletes. Don't really know how successful that strategy was, but if memory serves, tOSU has finished in the top 6 (?) pretty much all the time. Football has been in the top 5 for years now, and is the most expensive game in town. Well, there's no New York celebration for the 'winner' of Director's Cup, just a byline in the newspaper (probably below the fold) about the year-end standings. I don't even know if there's a trophy, traveling or not, that a school can/would keep. Or even where to display it! It is, however, a symbol of financial commitment to many aspects of college athletics. Why, Ohio State is able to compete successfully on these varied stages, but fail so woefully in basketball is a mystery to me. Do not believe that a multi-million dollar HC is the answer, or throwing out $25M at five athletes that have performed 'pretty well', and hope to meld together to win a Natty. Truly don't have an answer, but do firmly believe that tOSU could be doing better. Would welcome a 'happy middle' here. Forgive the Monday morning rant, but want to see tOSU get back to winning ways, and not a one-and-done championship, but a sustained presentation of accomplishment.

I don't think there is really one answer.

I think it's definitely clear that you have to spend money, but yea it also involves a lot of luck of players actually meshing well and avoiding injuries.

Kentucky, North Carolina and Indiana all spent a lot of money and didn't do dick with it for example.
