WVSPORTS.COM More money, less problems? Comparing Neal Brown’s first two WVU contracts
- Thread starter Vernon
- Start date
At some point tax payers and donors have to start to wonder whether all this money...sweetheart terms...and personal financial rewards for group achievement...is worth it. Football is just a child's game.
Tax payers? LMAO.....maybe you need to research WVU football before you open your mouth again.
You ***** about CFE...he has never been this misinformed.
Donors...taxpayer money...sports revenue combine to fund the athletic facilities...personnel...promotion...and programs among other university activities. Strip the football money and coaches still get paid. State school not a private institution. You guys are sounding like never been to school types.
And yes...unlike those who bring it up. I have been a donor and active supporter.
Now back to your world of bottomless cash piles.
Forgot student fees there...

But some of that money is student fees.
That money is just allocated from the university.
Most P5 programs are nearly self funded
There are a few that actually send money to the university

No tax money goes to coaches salaries.
West Virginia's athletic department ranked 37th nationally in overall revenue in the 2017-18 school year and 4th in Big 12, according to data published by USA Today Monday. WVU produced $102,684,423 in revenue, which was a decrease from the $110.5 million produced by the department the previous year.
The numbers still demonstrate the importance of West Virginia’s move to the Big 12 in 2012-13.
Covid cost WVU in the neighborhood of $65 million for the 2020-21 fiscal year, according to West Virginia director of athletic Shane Lyons. Will be operating in the red by $18 million more if they had not played those 10 games. Their IMG account is an annual value of $7.8 million, or at least that’s the amount that was previously guaranteed.
WVU’s multimedia rights deal is part of its $93 million athletic department budget. Of that budget, approximately $60 million are fixed costs for things like scholarships, salaries for contract employees, utilities and all the other day-to-day bills that must be paid by the Mountaineers.
I doubt WVU is missing your pennies.

Good grief Allen. Of course costs are covered by existing media payouts but should they shrink...as likely...the University is in fact liable for coaches salaries. Contract is between Brown and the University ...or agent of...in some cases. The University is a state university funded in large part by tax dollars. Lol...it is the WVU football team...not the wvusports.com forum team. Google all you want but the financial foundation is what it is.
No taxes go to coaches salaries. Although considered state employees no tax money goes to their salaries.
The university is a land grant university. In 1862, the United States Congress passed the first Morrill Act which provided for the establishment of a Land-Grant institution in each state to educate citizens in the fields of Agriculture, Home Economics, the Mechanic Arts, and other useful profession.
Show me the link where the university on the majority is funded by State Tax dollars.
You just can't handle being wrong. Sports on the majority is not funded by state tax payers.
Let me make this as simple as it can get so even you can grasp it. Money comes from several sources and is allocated by need or priority. It doesn't matter where it comes from it finds its way to the same money pot. The contract with coaches however binds the university to live up to the terms and pay it. If the media income stream fades...the university and the people of the state of wv still have to pay. These coaching clowns are ripping off everybody in the state and the day will come when the coal miners...waitresses...clerks etc will have to belly up and pay. Kind of like the Biden programs.
