GPL: Minnesota Athletics Reports Record $163.6M in Revenue for FY25

WBB expenses seem high and perhaps misleading. I think Big Ten averages $5 M in expenses.for WBB. Google AI say $3-6 million average. I know OSU is at the high end at 6-something.

Some of that may be the accounting. How much of the overhead for Williams Arena gets spread to what?

How does the cost for Athletes Village get spread among the programs?

If you ax women's basketball program, that would never happen, some of that overhead cost does not go away. It gets allocated fully to the mens programs.

I think. We don't know some of these accounting numbers.

Maybe track, swimming become regional. Use women scholarships for Dance, the one dominating U of M sport.

Minnesota is a superpower at Dance. Curious that they don't get scholarships that would mean cutting the same number elsewhere.

Women basketball, volleyball and hockey are untouchable. Same with men hockey, basketball and football.

Well, finally all of the geniuses here are proven right in telling me that we don’t have enough money to pay for a higher level of quality for FB assistant coaches vs. having the little sisters of the poor equivalent as coordinators. Shame on me for arguing that was PJ‘s decision to hire glorified analyst in those roles

No one ever argued that we don’t have money, everyone but you can see that it has never been invested into the football program.

Title IV would require cutting MBB as well. Are you good with that?

Does Title IX even apply if one team is full of independent contractors and the other is full of student athletes?
