That is the type WINTER Humor we need around here! Well SE and MR paid 100K for that so let that sink in for your taxes payers or donors money at work. That place was such a JOKE SHOW. Hopefully Moos is able to clean it up. Getting SF is a good start, but IMO more needs to be done internally in the AD as many are not up to the challenge of "rowing in the same direction".Huskers93-97 said:
Not a dime of taxpayer money went towards that 100k
I am guessing you are correct. I just tend to lump all things NU into tax dollars, but your thinking is more than likely correct. I WILL SAY it is CORRECT. However I still like to think of it that way.
Honestly it’s a flawed way to think. The Athletic Department and the University have 2 completely different budgets and revenue sources. When people make comments about the Athletic Department spending “our tax money” those people are making incorrect statements, but it’s the way a lot of people in the State of Nebraska think. No matter the success of the football team or the entire Athletic Department, when people complain about uses of “our tax money” they sound like people who like to complain about things without knowing the true facts.
In fact, the athletic department as a whole is so incredibly self-sufficient (donors, endowments, etc) that they pay for all of their expenses in a year, then spend a ridiculous amount on facilities upgrades, cool perks, etc for all the teams, and then still usually have several million dollars left that they donate back to the academic side of the University for them to use to lower expenses/provide scholarships to the general student population.
Heck, he earned immunity when he signed Frost. If he lands Hoiberg they're going to have to start renaming sports venues on campus. Sorry Tom and Bob.....
