USA Today reports league made $527.4 million for the FY ending August 31, 2015. That's $35.16 mil per school after the Conference Office cut. (15 ways).

David Morrison Retweeted Steve Berkowitz
SEC announced in spring it would be distributing $455.8M of that to its schools- LINK ... ccda2.html ….

David Morrison added,
Steve Berkowitz @ByBerkowitz Tax return shows SEC made $527.4 million in first year of CFP, SEC Network LINK via @USATODAY

I say, build the darn South End Zone project now. I want a shrine to Mizzou football. And it should not be about the fans and more luxury suites. FB offices, training, locker rooms, signage, etc. - 95% football. FB wants it, FB gets it. And then some regular seating.

Then expand the lower concourse under the stands at Faurot. Making more crowd room and bigger/more restrooms.

This amount of annual coin should make it possible to obtain permanent financing.

I want a SEC Champ and Natty in my lifetime. And I'm not getting any younger.

I'd like to see how much alumni donations decreased after the multifaceted debacle that was 2015.

I keep receiving emails, letters, and phone calls, urging me to "show my Mizzou stripes" through continued donations. It's not going to happen. I have more deserving charities.

Unlike some conferences we split the goods up fair and square. Missouri, and the rest of the SEC for that matter, can go on quite a building spree over the next few years.

Im all in for finishing the south end to give it a horseshoe look, and not allowing anyone onto the rocks. It will force people into the seats and leave a bad a$$ look for the rocks.

But without the press box. And like I said, close off the grass and rocks area.

Mizslu314 - Yes, I like that south end illustration. But I want it higher (more levels) with a new giant video board.

Closing off the grass is not happening. Too much tradition of families with kids sitting there. They even designed the slope of hill to be more comfortable in recent hill move Project.

They should have demolished east side, removed track, and rebuilt it closer to field when they had the chance.

I hope they get that South Endzone project done ASAP. It looks nice in the picture.

I agree. A wall of suites and glass-fronted offices topped with a monster video board that would be slightly above eye level with the upper deck.

I'd like to see them build up the south EZ to match the current height of the new East side structure. That would be possibly a bit more regular seating, but mostly football operations and suites. New locker room is a must in this complex.

After that, add permanent seating to each side of the press box to mirror the height of the East/South structure.

As for the north EZ. I agree. Keep people off the rocks for sure, and grass completely preferably. The renovations they did there actually look very nice and it would look good on TV if people could see it. If that causes too much of an uproar, then add permanent seating on both sides of the rocks but make the M off limits during games.

Finally, bring down the current jumbotron. You could repurpose it on top of the South EZ complex if needed, but it's too small and too far from the field. Need one twice as big and it needs to be moved closer to the field after they reconfigured the hill.

I hope BO is pressing the south end zone project as hard as HCGP was. I'm disappointed that I haven't heard anything about it from Rhoades or BO

BO has plenty to do right now. Lobbying for stadium improvements should be at the bottom of his list. He'll get to it in good time.

Rhoades said it was still the top priority after Pinkel retired.

Good pic of the stadium. I'm sure Mizzou will pick up more hungry football fans since the Rams are gone. Good riddance Rams.

I said when Missouri joined the SEC, give it ten years and the Missouri campus/ facilities/ stadium/ culture would look and feel like any SEC campus. Compare that to Missouri's former conference mates and the difference would be like night is to day.
