Like I said, if you are going to cut, make it in women's basketball. It lost $7 million for us last year. You never cut anything that is profitable. Are you nuts? Have you not thought that the success in baseball is what keeps their fans from bailing completely?

Hell I’ve often wondered how much money goes to waste each year sending cheer leaders to all the basketball games

Good lort. I'm scared to even look at the millions State threw away on it. That's clown world shite.

Baseball is a fun sport to watch and this is a great hire. But it’s a bad investment when compared to everything else your AD needs.


Agreed, we should pour all of our money into football like Ole Miss to miss the playoffs as well.

Big time hire. Even with the draw of the stadium, the money that goes into baseball and the fandom, I still didn't think someone would leave a good situation to move to Starkville. That said, hard to imagine watching the atmosphere there on a weekend SEC series and not be excited about being a part of that.

$4.2 million

Not nearly as bad as ours but still. It makes my stomach turn seeing that number and “deficit” in the same sentence

They threw the bank at a new stadium and coach. He is a great coach but he ain’t no spring chicken anymore. I hope they have some money left for NIL.

Ole Miss fans know more about MSU finances that people involved in the university operating, payroll, and tertiary accounts. Don’t believe me? Just ask them.

I mean you can just google “Mississippi State baseball revenue” and it pops up. It’s not difficult to find

The average rebel knows, to the penny, our budgeted meal allowance, strip club allowance, and NIL value of every recruit that steps on campus in Starkville.

Again, almost 30 years after everyone else, and you’re still 3 years away from breaking ground on it. This isn’t the flex you think it is


Haven't needed one. Still don't need one, imo.
