This is what I said awhile back -- that the $ figures would eventually come down and it looks like they already are. The honeymoon phase is already ending and analytics will be applied and turn this more into a science. It will normalize very quickly.
The math says you are almost net negative ROI unless you make it multiple rounds in the NCAA tournament with any sort of investment or can somehow boost home attendance and revenues. I know I'm in the minority here, but It makes no sense for Indiana State to give funds to any program but basketball. Everything else is literally setting the money on fire.
