Does a bigger budget guarantee more Big 12 basketball wins? We’re crunching the numbers to see if WVU is actually getting a return on its investment. The 2024–25 Big 12 season was a financial arms race. With new heavy hitters like Arizona joining the mix, the cost of competing at the top of the toughest conference in college basketball has never been higher. But as the dust settles, the data tells a shocking story: some programs are buying wins, while others are just burning cash. In this episode, we break down the Cost Per Win for every program in the Big 12. We’re putting West Virginia under the microscope—ranking their $10.8M budget against the rest of the conference to see if that is why they’re currently "stuck" in the middle of the pack when it comes to results on the court. In this video, we also cover: the WVU Women's basketball team and their upcoming path to a Final Four run. Former WVU football quarterback Nicco Marchiol may have found a new home at a Big Ten program. Is it a good fit for him and what are his chances to win a starting job? ____________________________________ Sources: Song: Smoke Rising Music by: CreatorMix.com Video: https://youtu.be/_oaZzkn0bW4 Extra Points: https://www.extrapointsmb.com/p/here-s-what-it-costs-to-make-a-run-in-march-madness ____________________________________ Get Your Tailgating Stuff HERE: http://victorytailgate.pxf.io/CouzCornhole Couz's Corner Merch Store: https://couz-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGQsDxC1nVegCKqyoMKnL9w/join Other Ways To contribute to the channel: Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Justin-Walker-516 PayPal: https://paypal.me/couzscorner?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Fanatics link: http://fanatics.93n6tx.net/eKxbVr Subscribe: https://youtube.com/c/CouzsCornerSports Socials: Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/couzwalker TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@couzscorner?
