TXHSKR Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 You would think Kansas would be cutting back on expenses? Now that they aren't feeding Mangino anymore. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 You would think Kansas would be cutting back on expenses? Now that they aren't feeding Mangino anymore. Their fast food expense account went over budget 4 years in a row. Burger King, McDonalds, Taco Bell, and KFC have made a killing off of KU. Quote Link to comment
tmfr15 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Makes you wonder how much of the profits go to what. Colorado's 13 million in profits likely go to a liberal arts program that's researching the health benefits of wacky weed and associated products. Quote Link to comment
Lyons in the Sea of Red. Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Crazy to think a football program that struggled to fill their stadium at times could profit so much. Quote Link to comment
krill Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Crazy to think a football program that struggled to fill their stadium at times could profit so much. From what I gathered trolling shaggybevo from time to time last season, the school has implemented every scheme imaginable to squeeze money out of fans. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 To be fair the Kansas budget would be better if their ticket office staff weren't the unofficial ticket supplier to Ticket Master. Quote Link to comment
Roark Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Bummer... The misspelled title is supposed to say "revenue" and not "revue." I was expecting to see some sort of theatrical performance, perhaps a la MS paint. Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 As p*ssed as I get sometimes that the Athletic Department doesn't put more effort into basketball, this shows why they do what they do. It does not pay to be a basketball school, just ask KU... ouch. Quote Link to comment

One main state school, population of MO--even Dr. Tom realized that Missouri couldn't get a foothold, or they could, over time, wear Nebraska down and eventually overtake the success of our program. I don't honestly remember which one of his books it was in, but Dr. Tom said as much. That's why getting into the Big 10 at the expense of Missouri was significant--if anything, it reset much of the fiscal and athletic progress Missouri made while Nebraska waded around in the Pedersen/Callahan Kiddie Pool.

okaive Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Crazy to think a football program that struggled to fill their stadium at times could profit so much. Just like OU, if they lose 2 games, they quit coming to the games because they think the season is over. Quote Link to comment
