We are 34th for 2015-2016....while we've come a long damn way...the gap from the top 15 is mighty big
Surprised to see Clemson as low as it is.
How Texas A&M remains middle of the road in everything is fascinating. It defies logic.
Hey Random we have been blessed, it ain't going to last! Let's always sock some of that back in a reserve fund. Let's give some back to the university, because they need it. Hail State!
A lot of interesting info from that:Quote:

- We seem to be leaving a lot of money on the table by not using student fees to boost the athletic budget. We are one of the few SEC schools that doesn't do this.
- Our Adidas deal actually seems pretty good. We are in the ballpark with what Auburn gets from Under Armour and get a couple million more than OM does from Nike.
How much of each SEC team's revenue is from "revenue sharing".... $40ish?
We suck at this.
Something in that ballpark now. I think it jumped up to $40 mill for this year from $25 million last year (which is the year shown in the study, I think).Quote:

That's sad....
Any business making $20 million or more a year ought to be paying its "primary employees" something. I know they are getting stipends now. They ought to be.
Their giving level is not just high compared to ours.....they are beating Bama and in the same ball park as pretty much all of the big SEC programs, other than Florida and A&M (A&M's is a ridiculous $75.5 million). They may be a bunch of cocksuckers, but considering the size of their fan base, their lack of any real success, and the fact that they are the lesser of 2 SEC schools in a small, poor state, it is legitimately impressive that they are donating at a level that is competitive with the likes of LSU, UGA, Auburn, UT, etc.Quote:

Trial Lawyers and Doctors are good rackets to be in...
They must be including booster money and rebel rags tshirtsQuote:

I really miss all the marketing, sales, and creative ideas we got from Byrne and Stricklin.....maybe Cohen is still learning the ropes, but haven't seen anything impressive out of his camp since taking over.....and those god awful bleachers by the M Club i saw just yesterday gave me "come on cohen, you can do better than that"......
Engineers and ag folks are just too tight with their money.
We can probably agree that our Marketing has slipped the last few years....
I don't mind the gap. The gap is there because of season ticket prices are still at a relatively reasonable in price. Our average football ticket price last year was 37.00 where Ole Miss was 64.00. I suspect that this is across all sports. KY is also 37.00 for football but I suspect the Basketball ticket are a big gap between them and us.
The question is are you willing to spend more for tickets to get a bigger return? Lets make fans spend 30.00 more per game to get 3 million more in profit.
I think it is possible to improve without raising ticket prices if our Basketball team would get better. More ticket sells.
For reals. They had $31.7 mil in donations versus Bama's 29.7 mil. I found that pretty surprising.....I wouldn't have expected OM to be in the same ball park as any of the big 6.Quote:

Seeing this makes it all come full circle with the investigation and the "all-in" approach with the preachy beaver.Quote:

Is the allocated funds, from OM the bank account, for paying the players? Or is the allocated funds there to pay former coaches?
I don't see any offer of explanation for the Allocated funding...
????? Is the list of booster donations, from their 'club', public information? That list would be very entertaining for sure.
Remember the story about the bank and ATM.... hum.....
I keep seeing there are more State grads than UM grads enrolled at UMC so I hope this helps us in future giving.Quote:

NO. No reason to burden the students to support profitable sports. The people struggling to make ends meet, while getting an education, don't need to help Dan get a pay raise.Quote:

What's really interesting is the "other" category in OM expenditures. The "other" expenses doubled between 2012 and 2013. hmmm.... Remind me again, what year did they have their breakthrough recruiting class?
Definition of "other" expenses: "Other: Includes guarantees paid to other schools; school-specific expenses for bowl games, severance payments to past coaches and staff; recruiting; team travel; equipment and uniforms; game day and camp expenses; fundraising and marketing costs; spirit group support; medical expense/insurance; conference dues; the value of university-provided support such as administrative services, facilities and grounds maintenance, security, risk management, utilities, depreciation and debt service that is not charged to the athletics department. For 2016, also includes meals and snacks provided for athletes beyond those provided under regular board plans and during team travel."
I saw the article, but where is a link to the breakdown of the budgets?
The RECRUITING word sticks out especially in January 2016...... for 6 weeks..... I can see where the $2.3 Million dollars went...
Remember the night before signing day February 2016.... when Freeze was boosting that HE raised $250,000.00 for the recruiting class of 2016....
This was when one of the recruiters spent much time in a certain school district....
Just click on the school and it pops up.Quote:

And there are only like 7500 student tickets to go around anyways, so it would never be paid by every student.Quote:

Rep given. No faster way to kill NCAAF.Quote:

I think it is a great commitment by the leaders of our university to not have fees like that paying for athletics. Athletics, run correctly, more than pay for themselves.Quote:

If OM does not get to keep the SEC money for probation years, our number will go up and theirs down...
