re: Ncaa discussing adding sponsor logos to football fields
Posted by TomRollTideRitter on 5/30/24 at 8:36 pm
[quote]By your own ULM example, revenue tripled and the increase in scholarship expenses and coaching salaries both went up fairly proportionately at close to 3.5x each Facilities and maintenance went up about 7x but $142k seems awfully low to maintain a football stadium, basketball arena, baseball...

[quote]Wouldn't be mad if true, I want UNC.[/quote]
Why?
I’d rather have the closer schools with better fanbases. If we’re gonna have mega conferences, I wouldn’t mind UNC, but I’d much rather see a game at FSU or Clemson than at UNC.
I like sports other than football, but everything else i...

For G5 context here’s ULM:
2004
Revenue: $6.6M
Scholarship Expenses: $1.6M
Facilities and Overhead: $142K
Coaching/Staff: $2.1M
2022
Revenue: $19.1M
Scholarship Expenses: $5.7M
Facilities and Overhead: $1.1M
Coaching/Staff: $6.9M
So ULM is a program that obviously can’t afford to pa...

[quote]Only a handful of athletic departments turn a net profit as a whole, even in the SEC. So if the NCAA is allowing schools to pay $20M a year directly to players, that money can either come from new revenue sources or cuts to spending elsewhere.[/quote]
This is because they aren’t designed t...

It’s wild how powerful this group is.

[quote]I personally think it’s counterproductive to continue treating sons & daughters as children when they’re living at home, but have already finished high school. In my experience - speaking mostly about friends of mine when I was a freshman in college - those kids often overcompensate as soon a...

I’m not a dad, but when I was 17, I probably would have been mad about you and your wife saying hell no to that.
Has she given you a reason not to trust her in that situation? If so, then have a mature conversation about that with her being the reason you feel uncomfortable. If not, then it’s und...

If I took over tomorrow, I’d start on a Knights of the Old Republic movie series. White male Revan to appease your fans tired of the forced DEI push combined with a diverse supporting cast to avoid your leftist fans flipping out.
The game cast was diverse, so it can look like you aren’t forcing t...

[quote]Its lame as hell but it’s such a no brainer revenue generator[/quote]
In service of who though? Who benefits from the athletics program having higher revenue? It’s extremely rare this money gets back to the university.
No one owns these programs. It’s one thing for an owner who bought a...

Brainlet take. College football is different. The talent disparity makes it unique in sports. Pro football is rigged to have parity, and since high school football has seen its talent dispa...

[quote]the main thing they do better is, there is a chip inside the ball, so it marks where the ball is at on plays, so there is no question if a first down was made, or if they crossed the goal line. this means the refs dont have to guess where to spot the ball or just use their own bias to put the...
