College Football Claiming Poverty

[DarkStar]

Depends on how big your operation is.

You have $86 million in operating expenses/revenue and looking at a $40 million loss. I'll let you translate that to acres

Interesting. I have seen some threads started by ignored users in the past, but just checked and most don't appear. Must have been a glitch on the ones I did see.

Or you’re not good at the internet.

I hear federal crop insurance doesn't cover the whole loss. Barely covers the costs of some of the inputs. At least that was what it sounded like. They still have to go to the bank to make up the difference to put in next years crop.

Any farmers want to clarify?

It doesn't cover 100%. Most carry a policy that covers 85% of their annual production history. There are plans that cover yield and price. They cover loss in value due to a change in market price during a determined period in addition to loss of yield.

I was really hit on production records one year when the coop sprayed my field with the wrong product. Therefore, I had zero bushels for that year and had to take a county average.

Lots of components in crop insurance.

Weird. Why do terrible posters always try to slide in to my personal life on an internet sports message board site.

Just T's and P's for you.

And maybe look at the type of poster you are.

Im going to guess it has something to do with bringing your personal life to the message board. Like starting a thread asking whether you should become a republican.

Doubling down on a stupid take. That's bold.

Alabama is to college football what Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are to the Forbes 500 Richest People. The Pandemic might dent their net worth, but they roll on.

That can't be said of the other 95% of college athletic programs. We are just starting hear the impact by cancelling sports, furloughing employees and laying people off.

I disagree with the notion that college athletic departments could have had a plan in place for what we've seen this year. But, it's completely valid to examine and question athletic budgets and spending in the situation we find ourselves in. Athletic budgets are incredibly bloated. The arms race is the reason. These programs spend huge amounts of money keeping up with the Joneses. Massive coaching salaries, endless facility updates, huge recruiting budgets, etc. It all gets inflated because people are afraid that if their program didn't spend the cash, then the ones that do will get an advantage.

And that's not necessarily wrong. But it's worth acknowledging, and examining in a time like this, and consider making changes in priority. Significant change isn't likely to happen, but it's not wrong to consider it at a time like this.

Very much agree, and then one of the first things the cash rich athletic department does is suggest shutting down the cash poor arts center, which is it responsible for maintaining. This was a very poor PR move.

See, you just jumped to conclusions...I just started the thread asking others when they thought CFB would be cancelled. I never said it would be cancelled. I’m pretty sure I never entered a date in to the pool. You’re just a hater and a looser.

If you are going to call someone a loser, you should probably learn how to spell it.
