I brought her up because she spends a lot of money a time fundraising for women’s sports. She does not give enough to fund them. It is not the responsibility of any donor to fund a budget for a sport. Donations are subsidies given out of generosity. There isn’t a single sport at App, including foot...

I figured you were rounding based on numbers you saw online. I would love to see the exact amount of money that every sport brought in this past year and the amount of alumni donations for the AD overall and those that were given just to a specific sport. If you find a link with exact numbers I wou...

Can you provide a link with those exact numbers? I am not an App football only supporter. I do think football, basketball, and baseball should drive most decisions but it is good to have other sports for more athletes. Those happen to be my 3 favorite sports but they are the money sports. They shou...

When you talk about Irene I am curious how old is she? She might fund a sport now but when she dies will her children still do it? If you are depending on one person and the sport does not generate revenue through tickets, merchandise, TV revenue, etc then at some point that sport will be a drain u...

It is a booster who loves golf and basically keeps the program afloat because they love it, right? It is not because they are selling out matches and drawing revenue from crowds or TV money, correct? So what’s your point? Baseball sells tickets but it doesn’t generate the revenue that makes it self...

It's my understanding that the golf program does get a lot of non-university funding. It does. Those vans and last seasons trip to Stanford for a tournament were funded by a donor. It is a booster who loves golf and basically keeps the program afloat because they love it, right? It is not because t...

Yep, I know what Title IX is. The House Settlement has not been collectively bargained. Taking revenue from those who generate it and forcing them to give it to someone else restricts the ability of the athletes to make money. SCOTUS has already said the NCAA cannot do that. So, Title IX is going t...

A strike hurts everyone. We are already losing donors who don’t want any part of this NIL. Some, like me stomach it because I want to continue supporting App. But if this current trajectory creates a stoppage of play, then you will lose those folks siting on the fence.

There are a lot more people who care & complain when a sport is cut than people who care about supporting the sport when it’s active. That statement isn’t to talk down on anyone but I haven’t seen many people advocating for financially supporting the golf program in the past. If you want to make a ...

I think we can all agree that isn't how it should work, but it's exactly how it's going to play out at a lot of lower P4 and a whole lot of G6. Many, many Olympic sports, and maybe everything but football, are going to be sacrificed at the altar of professional college football. It’s trending that ...

500k would allow you to adequately fund personnel department and give a deserving raise to a very good strength coach or 500k would give a big boost in NIL where you could go get 3-4 high level players. Again. Your end game is to kill anything that gets in the way of football. That’s not how this w...

I think we are at the NCAA minimum number of teams required for D1 membership or FBS membership, I’m not certain. There have been discussions about lowering that number which is 16 or 17 . Until then we will have that number. And football will be far and away the first priority. This, And cutting g...

Coaches are being told to do more , with less , in order to meet the new demands of meeting a payroll. That is ultimately what I have said on here before we got Loggains that we still have to do more with less. I don't see us raising revenue a whole lot but we still have a high standard. Those who ...

Yosef ClubIMG_2453.png I did not know how weak the salaries were across the board for the work they’re doing. Assuming these are all base salaries but still… This is sad. Our younger alumni, including myself, need to step up and donate/get involved and spread the word to donate. As the brand contin...

Bless your heart. There is nothing to discuss. You posted an insightful article about a SEC school that was living fat and now has to trim staff because of the new norm in college athletics. It is not a situation that App is sitting in because as it was shown, we are understaffed as it is and those ...
