University Athletic Departments Revenue & Spending

Call me crazy, but is #1 in expenses really a bragging right.
I guess orgs like this have a mandate to spend what they bring in, but it just seems counterintuitive to my small blue collar brain.
This is for all sports so given the number of sports and the fact only 1-2 of them are profitable the math checks out.

They also kick some back to the school after servicing all debt (facilities) if I am not mistaken

St. John Arena (Official Thread)

That was the school’s fault. They did not include the St John game in the season tickets or scarlet&gray pass, but never bothered to mention it. It was the day before the game when we realized we didn’t actually have tickets to the game and had to go buy them. The year before when the Cleveland State game was played there and they included the game with the season tickets, the place was rocking all night.
Sounds like maybe they wanted to make sure they had a reason to stop playing in St. Johns.

Newly added Antonio 'A.T.' Turner, an assistant strength & conditioning coach is certainly a great addition to Mickey Marotti's staff.

2026 FL ATH Efrem White (Florida St. Verbal)

https://florida.tfrrs.org/athletes/8371999/Vero_Beach/Efrem_White
He finished fifth in the state of Florida in the 110m high hurdles as a freshman
Some very impressive track numbers for anyone, let alone a frosh


https://www.tcpalm.com/story/sports...tball-recruiting-kicks-into-gear/69842206007/Efrem White, Vero Beach 2026 ATH
Vero Beach High School's E.J. White sprints into South Fork defenders in the first quarter as the Vero Beach High School Fighting Indians take on the South Fork Bulldogs on Friday, Aug. 26, 2022, at Billy Livings Field at the Citrus Bow in Vero Beach. Vero Beach won 54-6.

Coaches at Vero Beach felt before the season began in the fall that White would be an impact player right away and the freshman did not disappoint. Featured in a variety of roles from quarterback to cornerback and in the return game, White was responsible for 11 touchdowns in his first high school season.


At 6-foot-3, 160 pounds, White will have plenty of time to grow into his body and his athletic ability. He has caught the eyes of some of the country's elite. Alabama presented White with an offer on Jan. 23 and Pittsburgh did the same. A day later, Tennessee, Auburn and Illinois were next, and SMU jumped on board on Jan. 26. Add these to White's previous offers from North Carolina State, Florida State and USF.

Kevin (Tim “Asshat” Racadb) Warren (ex-B1G Commissioner)

Kujira, certainly get what you're saying. What you are doing is keeping those bridges 'built', maybe you'll return to former company as CEO someday. Also, professionalism in helping former company understanding what you did while there. Heck, they probably didn't appreciate what you did until you left (a common occurence). Resume building is key, and good references more key. Sounds like you touch all the bases. Congrats. PS, acted as a unpaid consultant for former company (Bendix subsidiary) for several months later for my developed expertise. Eventually, either someone got up to speed, or they deviated from direction. Never really did me any good, except for personal satisfaction (which counts).

Win-Side data: Tressel v. Carroll v. Meyer

Hey now, Illinois is technically a rival. I mean we play for the Ilibuck and all.

And State Penn? Well they're just State Penn, everybodies rival. Who couldn't hate a piss-bag throwing Nittany Lion?

OHIO STATE'S GREATEST TURTLE-THEMED RIVALRY TROPHY HAS BEEN SAVED VIA CLEVER SCHEDULING​

But when the Big Ten decided to go to a "Flex Protect Plus" schedule with the addition of USC and UCLA to the conference, Ohio State's not-rivalry with the Nittany Lions probably wasn't the stickiest of band-aids to rip off. OSU has exactly one protected rival that they'll play every season, Michigan, and the rest of the conference will rotate through.

Notably, Illinois will be back on the schedule in back-to-back years for the first time in almost a decade, and that means the turtle is back, baby!

Speaking of basketball, if injuries keep hampering his ability to play, it looks like Zion is practicing hard to “compete” in this newly established Swedish sport instead:

Pc builds, upgrades, advice

Should be good at 2K. $175 absolutely is a steal! A 3060 would run you $300+ new, whereas the 3060Ti goes for ~$375 and the 3070s are currently $500-600 if you can even find one.

Hell, if you don't buy it at $175 I would.

Word. I'm headed over there to see how it runs. I checked the prices after I had posted, but before you had responded - $300 was about spot on. So if there's nothing wrong with it and he's firm on the price, then I'll take it and deal with the rest later.

Appreciate your insight.
