"UTEP's budget last season of $20 million tied it for sixth in the 12-team C-USA, with the gap between fifth and eighth at about a $1 million difference. Stull said the average BCS conference school has a $50 to $60 million budget, while the University of Texas -- UTEP's Sept. 26 opponent in football -- spends an estimated $100 million on athletics."

A $100 million athletic budget for one college is insane. Smut was paying players and didn't spend that much in one season.

I safe bet would be 25% is for coach salaries.
