As munificent as this is, this kind of spending is typical of big-time college athletics programs at universities across the country. The Chronicle of Higher Education recently estimated that college athletics is a $10-billion marketplace. What sets UGA athletics apart is that it can pay for its expenses without turning to the university for help.
Only seven other athletics programs at public universities broke even or had net operating income on athletics each year from 2005-2009, according to data provided by USA Today to the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics (for which I consult). The others were Louisiana State University, The Pennsylvania State University, and the universities of Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas at Austin.

Our program is the exception on a short list. The addtional funds go to help other altheletes scholarships that without football would not exist. Helping students. As far as how much goes back to the general fund for the Unv not sure but I am sure if you dive into those lengthy spending reports you could figure it out.

 

This report seems to indicate that we only contribute additonal 4 million to the general fund.

According to the daily nebraskan in 2000, we gave 1.5 million from the atheletic program to the General Academic Fund.

 

"Because of this, Moeser said, there have been academic budget cuts and shifting of money within the budget."If it weren't for athletics, our cuts would be larger," he said, referring to the $1.5 million he mandates the athletic department give to the general university fund each year.The money supports initiatives the university doesn't have the money from the state to cover, including some student scholarship and academic programs, Moeser said.But Miller said making the athletic department give $1.5 million reinforces his idea of taking money from athletics to support academics."That proves my point. You can transfer funds from athletics to academics," Miller said. "I want to do more of that."Miller agreed the athletic department was an asset to the university"

Point is 1.5 million in 2000, which said would be increased, pays a lot of teachers salaries, and saves the Unv at all campuses lay offs.

 

The idea that the AD just spends the money as quick as they earn it is just not true.

You're telling me nothing I don't already know. None of that makes football Perlman's priority. It's not unimportant but by all (unbiased non tunnel vision non Husker forum poster) accounts he's done a lot of good for the university. I get sick of hearing people bashing him and their only basis being football related. It's narrow-minded and ignorant.

 

I've already stated in this very thread that the money goes to the athletic department. It helps football but also other sports. We obviously don't want to lose that and have to start funding it from some other source.

Hooray. Another thread full of idiots who think football is the most important thing about a university.

 

The football program is self-sustaining. That's great. They spend as much as they bring in. What that doesn't mean is that it provides any $ for anything else. There are other things this university does. Like, say, provide education and do lots of important research.

 

We should just get rid of the football program then. Heck just get rid of all sports.

 

 

We should just completely miss points of posts and also live in a black and white world.

 

 

No offense but I got as far as your first sentence.

 

 

Because football is the most important thing about the University of Nebraska to you.

 

 

This is getting weird.

 

 

If you only got as far as my 1st sentence, that was the most obvious reason why.

If you look at the Daily Nebraskan, article, that I added from 2000 it indicates that besides funding other sports and other scholarship as recent as 2000 we were taking 1.5 million from the AD to go to the general fund to directly fund acadmic research, salaries etc, it appears from numerous other sources that number was up to around 4 million as recent as 2013...

 

Trust me the Unv of Neb does not pay there teachers a ton, in fact all of there salaries are public, when compared to like Creighton. That is a lot of money for academic scholarships and teacher's salaries. I am not debating what his primary focus should be. Losing our AAU Credintal rating that was on Pearlman I believe. When other B10 schools use the same all one campus bull crap, like Minnesota etc, I think we just did not bribe the right person.

 

Also under Pearlman UNL Law school has continued to sink into irrelevance. UNL seems to rely upon at least we are not sinking as badly as Creighton. At one point mid 50-60s UNL Law was a top ten law school in the Country.

 

As well as some would debate the med school (however med schools refuse rightly to be ranked).

 

To Pearlman's credit he has helped keep tution down, however it has gone up over his tenure by around 1/3.... However we started so much lower then other major colleges... However that is a scary trend.

 

I came out of NU debt free due to working full time while going to school full time. I have one friend on face book did not graduated and fter 2 or 3 years has $10,000 in student debt still, I feel like saying ha, one of my best friends came out of Colorado Unv and she was 200k just for undergrad....

Wrong

[darkhorse85]

 

 

 

 

This again. We'll see this all the time now... I swear, some of you guys...

 

So write your regents, and tell them. Let them know how you feel. In fact, let me get this started for you guys:

 

"Dear Regent Dude,

 

I'm a football fan. I go to a few games and buy a few t-shirts, so I am entitled to tell you what to do with a Chancellor of a whole University system that is more complex than just the football team. The complex nature of the whole University is nothing compared to the complex nature of a buck sweep play. I mean, come on, two pulling guards, a cracking tight end AND a leading H-back blocking... That's pretty darn complex... I mean, they have to create a running lane! Anyway, listen, we're not that good at football this year. I actually cannot pin point exactly why, but I'm gonna place this all on Harvey Perlman. Listen, I get that he did some things to get enrollment up, and built some new facilities for real students and partnered with the city, county, and state to get some stuff done, while in the process help the City of Lincoln become a more viable and attractive city for employees and their employers. But FOOTBALL!

 

This dude's gotta go... It may not be financially beneficial to the University of Nebraska, which would in turn, be taking money from the tax payers of this state and possibly raising tuition higher for the other 25,000 or so students at the University who take out loans and pay their way to get a degree, but come on. FOOTBALL!

 

In conclusion, I just wanted to say:

 

FOOTBALL.

 

Sincerely,

 

An angry fan."

the football program generates 75 million a year. So yea football.

 

 

Again, the football program is self-sustaining, which is great. But it's constantly spending almost as much as it generates. Part of that goes to employees so that's a really good part of it. As far as I know none of the money from football supports anything outside of the athletic department. It's still not even close to the most important thing about the university and should not be Perlman's priority.

 

 

 

right back at you.

 

Football might be the most important thing about the university to the majority of people who post here. But it's not the most important thing about the university.

 

 

Your sample is diluted on the board here. Many posters aren't even alums so why would they care about the university itself? I know that some do but many don't. It's a football centric message board, what do you expect?

[cm husker]

It's pretty hard to "control" for what Perlman got done academically versus what any breathing chancellor would have done.

 

People talk about football being the front porch but not the most important room in be university. I agree with that analogy. Most people will never see the back rooms. But if you're jacking up your front porch as badly as he has, then it doesn't give me much confidence the rest of the house is in good order.

 

Unless there's an intentionality here.

[Bowfin]

Hooray. Another thread full of idiots who think football is the most important thing about a university.

 

So you are disappointed that you found a lot of people talking about football and football issues in a football forum?

 

Can I also ask you why you didn't post your above statement in a forum that focuses on scholastic endeavors instead of here? Wouldn't it be better received and found less offensive there?

 

If Perlman agreed with you and thought football unimportant in the grand scheme of things at UNL, why is he showing up at practices? It seems to me your beef is really with him, not us. Go straighten Harvey out, maybe tell him to get that AAU membership back and quit hanging out with the jocks.
