This wasn’t necessarily a bombshell as much as a reminder of why St. John’s sits near or at the highest of the Big East food chain in relation to roster cost.
On Thursday morning, Rick Pitino joined WFAN’s “Boomer and Gio” show in studio, and amongst the various topics they discussed was the ways during which the Red Storm put together their stacked roster.
Pitino addressed the financial component, that the Johnnies’ top-ranked transfer class was made possible by labor and generosity. They’ve a payroll within the neighborhood of $10 million, The Post recently reported, and while college sports has entered into the revenue sharing era — schools are allowed to pay athletes as much as $20.5 million a 12 months altogether — St. John’s has yet to get entangled directly.
The cash for the high-priced roster is coming from other avenues.
