You have to be a subscriber to read most of the Journal's stuff. I read hard copies, and I couldn't find the stories online when I poked around on their site.
Here's a few more details from the story, tho:
It focuses on various successful b-ball programs from around the country spend and take in, about 50 teams expected to make the NCAA tourney, ranging from Duke to NWern State.
There was a chart listing, among other things, coaches salaries, and Coach K's was listed at $120,000. The chart said UM spent $1.1 million in 2004-2005, compared to Duke's $7.4 million. UM had $1.3 million in revenues, compared to Duke's $12.4 mil. Highest paid coach was Izzo at $1.6 million, with Duke's coach K at $1.4 million. Gonzaga's Few was listed at $500,000, tho it said he just signed a new 10-year contract that pays him more. Nevada coach Fox was at $260,000 while Lorenzo Romar at Wash is at $890,000, Lute Olson $700,000, UCLA's Howland $910,000, and Cal's Ben Braun $850,000.
There were just 7 teams below UM in terms of ranking for expenses--George Mason, Delaware St., UNC Wilmington, Albany, Winthrop, Penn, and NW State. Those 7 teams, plus Northern Iowa and Southern Ill., were below UM for revenue from basketball.
In the comments section for UM it says: "School has held the line on costs during two straight NCAA tourney appearances."
There wasn't anything more in the article on UM. What there was on UM was in the chart, which was pretty cursory.
