Reslife4Life Posted Monday at 12:33 AM Report Posted Monday at 12:33 AM I do not understand the Lane Kiffin thing at all. First of all failure on the ADs, NCAA, everyone for allowing these coaching changes to happen before the season is over. What if Jared Embick just said he is going to coach somewhere else right now? Second, why would the coach of the #6 ranked team in the country leave his job to go coach a team that went 3-6 in conference play this year? Even if the answer is money how is Ole Miss not putting up the same amount of money to keep him? P4 football is a disaster, ruining the soul of college athletics 2 Quote

Same with the only portal window being in January when teams are still playing their postseason. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted Tuesday at 08:56 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 08:56 PM (edited) Akron should find another 5-7 team to play a game in Hawaii or Alaska to get to 6 wins and push for bowl eligibility, or just call the 13th game the bowl game. Edited Tuesday at 08:56 PM by Let'sGoZips94 Quote

Im still waiting on the day ESPN reports on the declining graduation rate from all the transferring and acts like no one saw this coming. Quote
kreed5120 Posted Tuesday at 10:55 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 10:55 PM It doesn't help they have the highest paid coach in the Big 12 despite him only having a 16-21 record... Quote

I assume not anymore with BYU’s coach getting paid. The PSU situation is a disaster (which I personally enjoy). Ohio’s coaching situation is looking pretty juicy as well…curious what’s going on there. Quote

Financially they escaped the deal without eating too much money. I thought it was a dumb firing when it happened. It would have only made sense if they had an Urban Meyer or Nick Saban lined up to take the job. Virginia Tech was the real winners there. 1 Quote

The only reason these numbers are being reported is because it involves Deion. All but ~10-15 programs are subsidized by other avenues of revenue. Quote

I imagine it's programs like Iowa who understand this that are doing well financially. Quote

Well those numbers are also from 2020 so they wouldn't reflect revenue from the new B1G TV deal signed in 2022, which increased TV revenue ~150% for the conference, nor revenue from the expanded playoffs. The TV revenue alone for the conference went from $440 million to north of $1 billion annually. That adds 10s of millions of more revenue per school. They could very easily be at a profit now considering they were near breakeven before. Even if they're still losing $4 million, it's still well worth the cost given the marketing athletics provides them. They couldn't buy the publicity they receive at that cost. I'd say they're still spending responsibly. It's the programs like JMU, Florida State, Rutgers, etc that make you scratch your head wondering WTF are they even doing. Purdue I suppose would be another example that I didn't think of before about being responsible, but jumped out when looking at what you shared. Edit: According this this article Iowa athletics is self sufficient. It did borrow $50 million from the University during the covid year, but has been repaying that loan. https://www.thegazette.com/article/hawkeye-athletics-sets-another-revenue-record-while-isu-uni-struggle/ Edited Wednesday at 03:58 AM by kreed5120 1 Quote

kreed5120 Posted 29 minutes ago Report Posted 29 minutes ago SEC voted to increase scholarship limit to the max 105. https://x.com/RossDellenger/status/1996970791192219853?s=20 Quote
72 Roo Posted 15 minutes ago Report Posted 15 minutes ago Does a football program really need 105 scholarships? I don't think so. The college game has been great at 85. It seems to me that the SEC and Big Ten are hell bent on spending their opposition into oblivion. I do believe that these two conferences want the rest of the D1 schools out of the big TV revenue picture. They will formalize the existing feeder system the other programs are to them and have their own national champion. A by-product of their greed will be that they kill fan interest in college football. When the fans turn off their TV's the money will no longer be there. It will take a decade or two, but I believe it will happen. For me, I'm OK will a G5 champion. The sooner the better. Quote
