knapplc Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 We recruit better than Iowa, Wisconsin & Northwestern. We're more valuable than Iowa, Wisconsin & Northwestern. We have more revenue than Iowa, Wisconsin & Northwestern. We just can't beat Iowa, Wisconsin & Northwestern. Past four years vs: Iowa: 0-4 Wisconsin: 0-4 Northwestern: 1-3 4 Quote Link to comment

Maybe we'll crack the top 15 or just outside the top 10 of most valuable teams. Winning of course usually takes care of it. Quote Link to comment

Roundball Shaman Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The good news is... Everybody knows that college and college sports exist only for educating young people to prepare them for good future jobs out in the exciting real world of tomorrow. It’s certainly NOT about making money for the universities, the coaches, the television networks, sports websites, the sponsors and endorsers, the office pools, the casinos, the gambling houses, or anybody else along the way. “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” Teach a man to fish, and nobody makes any money. Teach a man to play with a football, and see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment

NCAA is nonprofit and makes most of its money from the NCAA basketball tournament and most of the revenue it generates gets redistributed to the universities. https://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/Where Does the Money Go-WEB.PDF Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Curious if the numbers they are using are football program only or are they athletic department as a whole? As someone suggested, these numbers will change considerably for Nebraska with the dramatic jump in Big Ten share $ we just started getting last year I believe. These are the Riley years. Two sell outs for spring games plus a big jump in apparel money with the Frost hire and the ending of atleast one set of coaches'. That ought to bump NU up another $15 or $20 million over the Frost era. Of course our other sports are generating more revenues than some of our Big Ten comrades as well. And our stadium size. It should really show up by 2020. Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Do these numbers include $ they get from boosters and tuition from students? I thought i read somewhere a few years ago that texas am jacked up the price the average student had to pay because they were doing renovations to the stadium. Seems weird they would have to if they have all that money. Quote Link to comment

He's saying that if a man fishes for money he can be taught how to play football but if a man is taught how to play football he can't fish for money. It's the same lesson as "If a fish loves a football, where would they live?" Fish and footballs are incompatible no matter how much money they both make. Hopefully my gibberish helped. 1 Quote Link to comment
