It in theory, if you took the YTTV lineup and removed all channels not contractually tied to ESPN, Fox, and Discovery you should be able to drop some cost, right?
I bet if you surveyed most P2 schools, this is closer to reality than the shrewd management we've come to expect from JP over the past 20 years.Takeaways:
Mizzou took in nearly $170 million in revenues and still had $15 million deficit.
The university gave the athletic department $40 million over the past few years.
Doesn’t include a $250 million stadium renovation.
Mizzou isn’t the only SEC school to rely on university revenues to fund its athletic department.
The more success of its football team, the lower the margins.
Mizzou athletic department reports $15.2 million deficit, gets internal university loan
MU Athletics brought in about $168 million in revenue during fiscal year 2024 and spent $183.2 million, both records that are indicative of the rising amounts of money flowing throughwww.columbiamissourian.com
If you surveyed the history of college athletics, schools spending on athletics is the norm. Most of the top brands became that, in part due to institutional support
Imagine where we would be with someone who just spends as much as they can and doesn't have any business sense or long term vision.
Agreed, looked into the article and they are paying 60mil per year on coaches and support staff and they are freeking Rutgers! No worries if you’re making bank but with that deficit that’s just wild.
Which would be awesome.Yah but Jack Trice would have a giant press box!
So taking a deeper dive it’s not quite that bad when the schools operating budget is 5.6 billion per year. 30 mil of that 70 million overspend is planned from the university and other 14 is planned for athletic facilities. So really only around a 25mil overspend.
