No one will ever touch Ohio State but mid majors in Ohio can still thrive

Part of the issue is that it's challenging to market a sh** product. Nobody wants to watch 3 1/2 hours of bad football regardless of what free giveaways or extra amenities are added.
-
No it's more like I'm not going to accept someone pissing on my shoes on something that's blatantly not true. If Boise State Football is generating so much of a profit, than why is the University subsiding, and student fees supporting it? That's. What. You. Call. Bullshit. They count that stuff as revenue. It's a subsidy. That's bullshit and you and I both know it. You're participating in propagating the bullshit.

I've said before that athletics is just a marketing arm for schools. Boise State enrollment has grown from 16k to 26k in the last 25 years, which lines up with the time that their football has become relevant. They have grown much more rapidly than other in state public Universities in Idaho. In large part because their football and basketball programs provide an improved college experience relative to their competition. Boise State is one of the few G5s that has been getting a return on their investments when it comes to what they spend on athletics. The $15 million the University spends on subsidizing athletics is a drop in the bucket compared to the revenue they're receiving from having 10k additional students paying tuition. Not to mention donations they receive by keeping their growing alumni base engaged. All of that said, Boise State is unique. They have no real in state competition. Trying to replicate what they have achieved is near impossible since everyone, including Cincinnati, lives in OSU shadows.

In what world do you think Akron football is subsidized anywhere close to that figure? Total athletics, maybe. But the football budget doesn’t even come close to that
-
This. Akron being so bad at marketing/fan engagement has never made sense to me. They have one of the top marketing franchises in all of minor league baseball 2 minutes down the road. Figure it out.

Im pretty good at referencing facts to back my sh!t up You should try that some time. Homer

Yeh you are really stupid If Boise State was broke they definitely wouldn't have left the Mountain West for the Pack 12 You said name a successful mid major and I gave you one. You are clearly too stubborn to accept the L Boise State college football program valued at $91 million
-
Are you? $15-million subsidy the program counts as "revenue". Next you're going to tell us the Akron Football program turns a profit while receiving $19-million subsidy.
-
"Most valuable" DOES NOT MEAN Most Profitable. If you have to be subsidized by $15,000,000 from non-football funds in order to be solvent, you are a net negative. Yeah this list =/= Profitable, and just because 74 other programs are in worse shape doesn't mean you're in god shape. I swear do you ever critically think about this stuff before you post? Did you get a degree in marketing? Because you're pretty good at peddling bullshit.
-
Just so we're clear on this point: Boise State doesn't make a profit...as you're pretending it does.

Nursing remains the greatest need in the professional careers. That’s certainly true in NE Ohio and facilities want BSN’s. A lot of experienced nurses are taking their BSN’s and going into management. Or becoming nurse practitioners. That leaves holes in direct patient care.

GoZips.com hasn't yet updated the Men's BB roster so I'll guess we'll see who gets cut when they do -
And you apparently don't think past a headline, and misrepresent what other people are saying. If your program is receiving money from student fees, your program is a net negative. Period. Fullstop. If your program is receiving non-football donation or other school funds, your program is a net negative. Guess what? Akron Football has a Revenue of $30,000,000! Must be good right!? Except $20,000,000 comes from non-football other school funds, which is in most-part a student-fee that's not designated for football, but mostly goes to football. Boise State Football receives $15,000,000 of subsidy to break-even. All while it's cutting programs slashing budgets elsewhere on campus. It's an eff'n joke. You could cut the program tomorrow and it'd be a net positive windfall for Boise State.

Boise State does not make a profit. Of their annual revenue: -$3,700,000 comes from student fees. -$12,000,000 comes from school funds.
