72.4MM SEC pays the bills baby!!

[Leroy Jenkins]

72.4 was the average. I don't know the exact breakdown but it could be a little more than that since OU ant Texas didn't receive full shares their first year.

We may be 16th in the SEC but that 72.4 million is why we are still a top job in the country.

Wow, we have a horrible ROI for that investment.

Can we use every dollar to poach an elite Left Tackle?

They promised to get protection for KT, and they failed.

We can't use any of it for that. Y'all do realize that this money is earmarked for like the next 10 years in the budget for facility upgrades, facility maintenance, paying off the stadium debt, etc right?

We didn't just get a 75 mm check and not know what to do with it.

[Coach34]

Our sports budget is somewhere around 135MM- so that check is already spent as SVS said. Flying the golf team to Pebble Beach costs money. Women's tennis flies to NC and other states. The non-revenue sports is what eats up alot of budget

Women's sports should only travel by bus. The "SEC" and "D1" should only apply to revenue sports.

Need a legal opinion...

Title XI means equal scholarships to females does it include wasteful spending?

That is not correct. Title IX is equal access, treatment and opportunity not just scholarships. That has been ruled on already.

So, sending volleyball teams to empty stadiums around the country is required. Just asking for a friend.

Yes it is. Non revenue sports are all the same. We fly and drive all of them all over the country.

Yep. Women's basketball lost the school 9 million dollars in those two years they went to the Final 4. They lost the school over 25 mil in Vic's tenure. Yet he was pissed that they didn't get preferential treatment.

Yes it is. Or at least in a form of equal access and opportunity. Just wait until schools start paying athletes directly and the Title IX lawsuits erupt.

Women's basketball is the biggest money pit out there

It's baseball or women's basketball at every school. The numbers those two programs lose at most schools is astronomical. Even at the schools that don't care about either.

Any idea what the numbers look like for South Carolina or Uconn?

Quick google:

in fiscal year 2024. Women's basketball had a $5.7 million deficit in 2024. Coach Dawn Staley's team brought in $5.8 million in revenue but the school spent $11.5 in expenses. Men's basketball made a profit of $3.48 million.

It amazes me that anybody thinks women's sports makes any money

TN Women's basketball way back in the day under Pat made profit for a number of years. That's the only one I can think of.

In my twisted and tortured logic (I have a high-performing swimmer daughter with straight A's)...

I rather she swam for Washington U in St. Louis and only travelled to regional schools like UChicago, Northwestern, Marquette, Notre Dame and St Louis U for meets and not waste days and days for meets in Rutgers and Los Angeles.

It's actually preferential for a college student (I emphasize student) to never travel and be able to major in maximal subject.

You're not wrong in the least bit.
