The funniest thing is Iowa fans acting like B10 payouts will be enough when Minnesota is having to get $10M in student fees just to help
CR Gazette: ISU AD facing potential $147M deficit by 2031 with direct to player payments

Sorry, but I think the bridge has been an absolute home run in terms of ROI as well as aesthetics.
Not only does it serve a huge purpose functionally (have you seen the mass of humanity crossing it before and after games?), it has become an instant campus landmark that the major networks always show when broadcasting our games to the rest of the nation.

Don’t think they can if they want to remain title ix compliant
Edit: and there are also the D1 minimum sports requirements

I di believe quite a few schools currently do that but they were doing it before NIL.
Strictly guessing TT, BYU can wealthy donate their way through it. Maybe Baylor and Houston, and the rest of us are boned.
If anything we've learned rules don't matter in college sports anymore.
Yeah, pollard made a statement about how much that made. Heck, have a Big 12 stadium tour to raise funds for all the schools. Start with Garth Brooks. Isn’t he an OSU guy? He’d probably sell out a couple of shows at each stadium . Make it an annual thing with different artists. I’m sure It’s not thst easy but you gotta find ways.
Private equity will cover this. And selling meth at JTS and Hilton
Yeah, but in this case you’d be dealing with a federal law on the issue, not just a rule the NCAA has. And I don’t think the courts will buy the defense “we would just prefer to spend this money on something else.”
Sorry Woo but its been proven at the highest levels you can just ignore federal law and it is fine. It shouldn't be that way but that is where we are, right now all you need is money/power.
Can’t really talk about the first one since not in the cave, but the power/money may not be on the schools’ side. Because it would probably be something like schools vs. women athletes, NCAA, and the administration (more likely via federal departments)
Yeah I was trying really hard to avoid the cave or taking a ban.
I really hope you are right but I don't think it matters anymore. Sort of like when N Carolina got caught for academic fraud and nothing happened to them.
Click bait. Where is the report about Iowa being #7 with the most athletic related debt?
Facing $147M deficit, ISU Athletics halts Hilton Coliseum renovation, ups ticket prices

Right but that was an ncaa issue. And the NCAA has always had an issue of not punishing the big brands.
In this case though, the school’s argument would be “we aren’t going to follow this clear federal law because we don’t want to do.” Could the courts agree with them? Sure. But I don’t think they would.
In all honesty, for the haves they have never mattered
That’s a pretty good idea. Actually have a group of artists rotate.
As far as the bridge, yes it had to be built. The bridge was necessary because of the RV Village, and the RV Village was necessary because of CyTown. CyTown is how they plan on covering some of this "shortfall" as well as renovate Stephens and Fisher.
But for the overall article, that was the definition of sensationalism. Especially the title. Yes, if everything stays exactly how it is, they'll have a big deficit in 7 years. But things aren't going to stay the same. B12 payout will increase for one. Right now, we are taking a hit from bringing in the 4 corner schools. That will go away with a new TV contract. CyTown revenue will start kicking in. I would guess that they'll add some sort of student athletic fee. Jamie will probably have to cave and start selling booze at JTS. I think that there are things they could do to make this up, but the article is slanted toward what happens if we do nothing.
