    CR Gazette: ISU AD facing potential $147M deficit by 2031 with direct to player payments

    Id think you just take everyones total rev number and subtract the tv contracts. And youre right, it would be a real interesting number...

    Need advice on educational electronics for early education

    Nothing like "quality time" with an adult doing stuff to spark interest / curiosity / expectation of learning. Reading a book to them, playing card/board games with them, horsing around outside. Maybe you are all doing this already, but just wanted to throw in my "let's see what ole Doc...

    CR Gazette: ISU AD facing potential $147M deficit by 2031 with direct to player payments

    So over 14 years, 5%-ish inflation means ~2x the original number. So its about $25M over inflation. amounts above inflation: Players (meals, medical, student aid) = $2.5M Facilities: $14M Coaches: $6M Non-coaches: $5M the rest is actually negative in real terms (including recruiting...

    Wendy Wintersteen announcing her retirement as ISU President

    "non-traditional" means not someone from the academic community, e.g. a Dean, a Provost, a President from a smaller university... I am not against the idea per se, but academia is a really different animal from business. You need someone with some familiarity with academia, even if they...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    You also can play backups and rest up your guys who are banged up. You have to respect the devious brilliance of it. I just wish they didnt get a free pass out of it.

    Getting kids excited about math and other subjects.

    If I have learned one thing about teaching in my life, its that for kids - not teens, but kid kids - you can't and shouldn't force anything. Just make it fun and make opportunities available, and they will keep coming back, and eventually they will learn things. With the math thing, puzzles...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    It wasn't much different for the Big12 last year. Even with a bundled package with ESPN and Fox, I still needed Paramount and ESPN+ streaming. And there was still a couple games I missed. It's not even the cost, its the complexity/aggravation and the feeling you are getting worked by a bunch...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    You are delusionally optimistic. I mean, what you are saying would be great for ISU, not to mention truth, justice and the American Way. But it goes against all logic. It relies on everyone in charge being willing to sacrifice their own advantage and power and money for the common good. I guess...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    Part of why they have won a lot though is 8 conference games. You sub out an average conference game for a sure winner and it adds 0.5 wins to everyone on average. It's less of a deal to the Bama or Georgia types who would have won anyway. But it inflates the middling teams a lot, and they...

    SEC/Big10 Pushing for 16 Team Playoff

    There's never more than 1-3 elite teams that really can win it. That's been true as long as I can remember (80s). An 8-team playoff is MORE than enough to make sure you include those 1-3 elite teams. The arguing about who the other 6ish teams that get in among the probably 10 that are worth...

    CR Gazette: ISU AD facing potential $147M deficit by 2031 with direct to player payments

    Where's the 50-60M over inflation going? Coaches salaries? Facilities? Travel? Admin? I suppose its all of that, but IDK what % to each. Where would you cut back?

    Starting 5 and rotation

    Guards- Lipsey, Heise, Nelson and Batemon OR Toure (one will thrive, one will not see court, idk which) Bigs- Milan, Jefferson, Buchanon, Pleta (I suspect Mulder is a practice body and insurance policy) I think the returning guys will start generally- Tamin, Heise, Milan, JJ, Buchanon

    CR Gazette: ISU AD facing potential $147M deficit by 2031 with direct to player payments

    Everything is more expensive over time. You can talk about pricing people out, but that's why there are different seat/price levels. If $2k is too much, then the mobile tickets are still cheaper by abt $500. Or you can get a minipack and go to less games. The airlines figured out long ago...

    CR Gazette: ISU AD facing potential $147M deficit by 2031 with direct to player payments

    I am guessing this is the key. TOE just built a bunch more suites in their endzone project - reducing seats overall iirc. So if suite revenue per seat / per sqft is significantly higher than regular seats (which would make sense) then having more would make sense. Do we not have the ability...
