re: How are the expansion projects coming?

I think all the non-Mizzou fans need to understand where Mizzou is coming from...

For 2013-14, Mizzou projects a budget of between $73-75 million and close to $70 million in revenue, executive associate athletics director Tim Hickman said. Both would be record figures for a department that worked with a budget of $13.7 million when Alden became athletics director 15 years ago.

Hickman attributed the increases to enhanced league revenue, increased football ticket sales and private donations.

On Friday, the SEC announced it will distribute $289.4 million in league revenue for the 2012-13 fiscal year, with Missouri getting a full share of $20.7 million. That’s more than double the revenue MU earned from the Big 12 just three years ago. MU’s 2010 share was approximately $9 million, Hickman said.

In 2011, the last year MU received Big 12 revenue, the school earned $11 million.

After leaving the Big 12 for the SEC, Missouri did not receive a league payout last year. Instead, the Big 12 withheld $12.41 million from MU, which the university absorbed. The athletics department will repay the university over the next several years, Hickman said.

The Big 12 was a POS. Glad you guys got out of there. The awesome part of that is Mizzou went to the SECCG with an athletic department in the red. I'm in awe of that.
