I'll give it up when you admit your IQ is below 110 and quit acting like a prick 99.9% of the time and admit when you are wrong.

4.2M- and growing

Lost money every year since 2011… so much for the clubsporters saying it will make money after the stadium is paid off…
What are they doing w/ all that football money, they are 51-64 over the last 10 seasons.......................
Baseball deficit up to $4.2M- up from $3.1M the year before- and continuing to rise. It’s now losing more than it did before- even with the crowds, the new coach, the NIL push ect- Such a deal. Keep polishing that turd. Football’s the only plunger you got.
Keep it up, you're almost up to 40 posts in this thread. You're gonna eventually convince somebody of something. I just know it.
But they are 51-64 and you say they are "doing things right". That shows you its NOT all about the money right there...........
The game's at 4pm Central time this afternoon if you want to tune in or attend.
Oh, this is gonna take awhile. Might need to use AI to crawl through all the words .
Your whole post below that you made above is all about how they spend correctly like you think we should. Here:
"Nebraska doesn’t disproportionately fund it at the expense of their football"
And here: "Nebraska gets it- Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee get it. We don’t. Football first- Then the rest eat. Not the other way around"
So tell us, why aren't they winning in football if they are "spending correctly" instead of on "small passion sports"?
Yes, Nebraska loses on the same similar scale for their volleyball program as we do in our baseball program- But here’s the massive difference- Nebraska doesn’t disproportionately fund it at the expense of their football. Volleyball gets a small slice of their pie- around 5%. Whereas our baseball gets a much higher percentage of NIL/resources relative to football. Their football revenue is over $100M, so they easily cover volleyball loss and funds everything else proportionally- Ours is about half that, so when we lose and overspend funds and NIL on a small passion sport, it hurts our football program way more. Nebraska gets it- Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee get it. We don’t. Football first- Then the rest eat. Not the other way around- that’s why we are below average all the way around.
I don’t think you understood my sarcasm.
Im saying our record isn’t because football is overfunded- Other words it’s because football has been under prioritized and under resourced relative to what it could/should get.
Our football record is what it is because we had a good head coach pass away at a very inopportune time and we've made one and what's looking like two bad hires at the head coach position since Leach's passing.
Only a stubborn idiot would make it something else.......................................................... hmmm..................
I posted the other day on how much I miss the downvote. I'd like to suggest an addendum if we ever do get it back. Seems like we need a new rule where when one poster has more than, say, 100 thumbs down in a single thread, said poster is limited as to the number of posts he can make until he pulls his average back up.
Just a random thought I had right now for absolutely no reason at all.
I took a scientific poll and asked if anyone gave a shít and the no’s won it going away.
By all means keep going though. I’m enjoying how worked up y'all are. Just I case you were wondering, I had the smoked wings tonight and they were great.
I know you’re pissed we are winning but the rest of us are having a blast.

Still lacking from this horse beating: how much money does it take to get bowl eligible? Let's start with that. And if we have enough for that, let's fix the non-monetary things keeping us from achieving that first before picking on the baseball team. That seems reasonable.
$30 million per each SEC win... You can lose one SEC game and still make the CFP. So, if we spend 8X that, $240 million, we should make the playoffs!
I started it and I want it to die. I thought it was headed for page 2 and oblivion, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO................
Let me help get to page 8 too. Alright let’s break down some more exact savings if we reasonably and realistically implemented the capping/reductions that that I would suggest.Just trying to get it to page 8 for you.
Our current total cost to department (operating + NIL):
Operating deficit: $4.2 million
NIL allocation: $3 million
Total: $7.2 million/year
Proposed realistic caps and reductions:
Cap baseball NIL at $1 to 1.5 mil.
That’s still mid range and competitive.
*Savings: $1.5 to 2 million
Reduce scholarships to 20 full rides- from 34.
*Savings: About 1 million.
Scale back ops, staff, travel, recruiting- 40-50% cut on non fixed
*Savings: About 2 million
*Total annual savings: $4.5 to 5 million
All of this $4.5 to 5M/year goes straight to football- portal targets, coordinators, facilities, staff- the stuff that actually turns 5-7 into 8–4/9–3 consistency.
Stadium debt and maintenance stays fixed at $1.2-1.5/per year- no savings there- but everything else is variable and savable.
That’s not chump change- That’s real money that could make football competitive without killing off baseball- making it sustainable more reasonable and still competitive. Football becomes consistent 8–4/9–3 contender- Revenue grows from tickets, donations, NIL pool ect. Then all sports (including baseball) benefit from a bigger pie long term. Virginia did this to stay sustainable. We could do the same- and should.
On to page 8!
Reduce the scholarships??? You've got to be kidding.
40-50% reduction is those other areas??? Is some possible? Yes. But there's nowhere close to $2 million of fluff in these items to cut. You want to have the team stay hostels? Maybe not schedule any games where they have to fly. Want to have them travel in a short bus? Those have to get better MPG you know..
Are we on page 8 yet?
Y'all are gonna make me start posting pictures of the French first lady's penis...
I love football. I study football. I coach football.
I don't love baseball. I can't watch a whole game.
I get people "love" baseball, but its because they played T-ball and sort of understand the strategy of it.
