This football team

Our administration had almost zero to do with it.
To the contrary, selmon's priority is football and he's let that be known.

Thank you!

We have too many fans that have zero clue and are just bleating old talking points that were wrong to start with.

I know that football operates at a profit and baseball operates at a deficit which is all that matters.

And that won't be the case when Dudy Noble is reseated which is happening soon.

OUR FANS prioritize baseball over football. Go look at all my posts on this subject. This is about the fans.

It's the same thing. If our fans are giving 3 million to baseball and 40 million to football, that totally defeats the argument that our fans prioritize baseball over football.
We certainly know or fans spend way over 10 times as much on football tickets/seat fees than on baseball. And we spend way more Bulldog Initiative and State Excellence Fund money that comes from fans on football than baseball.

Do we know how much fan money (ticket sales and contributions) is given to football and how much to baseball?

Can someone provide some actual concrete evidence that we're taking money away from football to give it to baseball? I've always been under the impression that baseball is funded by "baseball only" boosters.

Who are our baseball only boosters who do not give to any other sport?

I mean, it's their money. Who am I to tell them they have to give it to a clown like Jeff Lebby over a future hall-of-famer in Brian O'Connor?

Baseball and "Other sports" ( so granted this is not all their debt) reports a deficit of 3.15 million dollars in 2024. Football reported a profit of 8.2 million in a 2-10 season. Also, baseball contributions increased 9.5 million dollars from 2023 to 2024.

$9.5 million? That?s fantastic! Maybe this year it will be more. I sure hope all you little league baseball failures pool all your money and come up with an extra $9.5 million for football! Thst would also be fantastic.

We should cut all funding to every sport on campus and cut funding to all academics and direct it all to football. We should also fire all city employees in Starkville and university employees who's sport was cut and use their former salaries to give to football.

Some of y'all sound ridiculous. I get the frustration but Jesus Christ. Don't take joy from others just because joy was robbed from you.

They won’t. They will continue to sink money into what is basically a club level sport. But we will have the best baseball stadium in the G5 in the future!!!
