Unfortunately with the changes, regardless of how popular a sport is, etc is not going to matter if that sport can not figure out a way to at least break even. I would assume every sport that loses money is at risk, not saying they all will go but I would not say any are safe, especially any mens sports that lose money.Its Ok to admit you were afraid of the wrestlers when you were in school.
I’m afraid of wrestlers right now.Its Ok to admit you were afraid of the wrestlers when you were in school.
Gross sales isn’t profitLooks like EIU brought in an extra $3 million from liquor sales, not sure what the university cleared, but I would guess quite a bit of that $3 million.

Iowa athletics generated more than $3.2 million in alcohol sales, records show
In their first year selling alcohol throughout Kinnick Stadium and other sporting venues, the Hawkeyes' topped $3 million in gross sales.www.nytimes.com
As much as I hate to admit it, they are just making it easier and easier to not go to games. The reasons not to go are really starting to outweigh the reasons to go.
Most other stadiums are reducing capacity, so it'll probably come for ISU at some point too.

We aren’t reducing compacity anytime soon unless we expand the seat circumferences.
Based on some people I’ve sat by at games, this might be overdue![]()
Maybe because WBB NIL is starting to demand money. When you are already losing a ton, and now you are supposed to pay players??? Their fans need the hurt and not just Football basically carrying the water for them.

It’s bad in my section, i basically sit with one cheek on the bench lol
Forever true!!
True, but EIU had to make a profit over a million dollars, no reason ISU would not do the same. When every dollar counts, then picking up an extra million or more seems like a smart idea. Go to any professional event and they are making a killing off beer sales, this idea that ISU would not make much money is silly.Gross sales isn’t profit
Guessing FB and MBB get 95%+. That's how WeWill was setup.Right now I think nearly all goes to the three you mentioned. Some will hate me, but I want FB and MBB to get 90% of it, or more. They will raise the tide for everyone and then open up funds for the other sports.
Its the major reason we get the seat backs on all four of our seats, not only is it more comfortable, it also saves your space.By your dumb, I assume you think the average American isn’t vastly overweight? I’ve spent the last three years feeling like a sardine with overweight ticket holders, I’m 190 and barely get my body into my seat. @alarson
It's undeniably worse for taking in the all-22, but I'd bet an extremely small percentage of fans try to watch games that way anyway.People who say they enjoy the game better at home, what is it? On away games I go nuts because they very seldom show the reams lining up and how the defense then lines up. You don’t see the whole team, generally most but not all, you can’t see how the Dbacks are moving around or lined Up. Sometimes they give you the stupid ground angle from behind the offense. Other times they dont tell you the situation and instead talk about a stinking cat. I hate watching at home.
If you take that approach then you will not have a competitive team. You need to be playing by the same rules as the teams you are competing against and unless everyone takes that approach you will not be able to recruit the Addy / Audi / Emily type player and become irrelevant.My opinion on this is if you can monetize yourself fine, but yeah on a money losing program don't be expecting to get paid. I know Audi has done some stuff with Kemna and a local bank up in Algona and that's great more power to her but most the players in the smaller sports WBB on down ought to be picking their school on their degree and not what they hope to get in NIL funds because not enough people care about their sport to make it break even. No reason to throw money at them now. Most these sports should have been grateful for what they had.
