MU is normally among the top-20 most profitable basketball programs in the country. (They offered Painter 2M+) A new arena with no debt is a rarity in college sports. I suspect they'll be in the top-4 of the SEC pretty much annually in that sport. Depending on what Arky and Tennessee do, which are their hoops peers there.
