I can't edit all of this but if you take it slow it will all make sense. the schools are just jammed together.
High Investment Tier
These schools routinely spend the most on basketball operational budgets, coaching staff, and facilities to remain nationally competitive: Siena College: Siena heavily prioritizes basketball, leveraging its position as the premier sports attraction in the New York Capital Region. They play in a large off-campus arena (the MVP Arena), which generates substantial ticket revenue, and they aggressively fund raise for their name, image, and likeness (NIL) collective to secure high-profile coaching talent and transfers. Fairfield University: Supported by a wealthy alumni base and high institutional tuition revenues, Fairfield has heavily upgraded its infrastructure, highlighted by the opening of the modern Leo D. Mahoney Arena. This capital investment allows them to compete for top-tier mid-major recruits. Iona University: Iona historically maximizes its resource allocation for basketball to maintain a winning tradition. They have consistently invested heavily in high-profile coaching salaries (such as hiring Rick Pitino in recent years) and facility upgrades to guarantee a perennial spot at the top of the conference. The Moderate-Investment
Mid Tier: These schools maintain healthy basketball budgets but must balance resources across a broader range of campus priorities: Marist College & Quinnipiac University: Both schools possess strong institutional backing and modern athletic facilities. While they fund basketball competitively, their spending is generally balanced across other thriving sports (such as hockey at Quinnipiac or lacrosse at Marist).Rider University & Manhattan University: These institutions historically field highly competitive teams on the court, but they operate with tighter institutional budgets and more limited donor pooling compared to the top tier.
Low-Investment Tier These programs operate with significantly lower athletic budgets, often sitting near the bottom of Division I basketball spending Niagara University & Canisius University: Located in Western New York, these schools operate with some of the lowest men's basketball budgets in the country (often hovering around $1.5 million to $1.7 million).Saint Peter's University: Despite their historic 2022 Elite Eight tournament run, Saint Peter’s operates with a highly restricted budget, relying on scrappy recruiting and player development rather than financial muscle.
