Think about this...

in 2010, our athletic budget will be $42 million assuming that we do not increase it anymore from the $32 million for 2008. In 2005, it was in the mid 20's. So let's assume we increase it a little more. In 5 years, the budget would have doubled. Amazing. Thanks SEC.

Maybe we can improve all of our olympic sports a little.

 

[dawgstudent]

it will separate State from the other BCS conferences that much more though. We will still be low on the SEC totem pole.

 

[Roy Munson.sixpack]

we are still way behind..that according to petey

As you said, when your athletic budget doubles over a few years it is far more substantial compared to other SEC schools how might be seeing a paltry 10% increase. I dare say this deal means far more to the MSU's of the SEC than it does the UF's.

not according to petey</p>

this deal helps state and ole miss far more than the powers.

I want to say I read 38 million somewhere for next year.

and i still think/thought the same thing as you guys. Maybe he was referring to dickies funds

I'd hate to see women's soccer or some **** get the money that football and basketball are bringing in.

And yes, I was too lazy to read the details about the ESPN deal.

Title IX is about scholarship numbers.

 

[Croomp]

With all this new money coming in we can start paying recruits again

 

[patdog]

And if UM doesn't include it in their basic revenues, I take it that we wouldn't be required to either.</p>
