I woudl say almost every Athletic Department in the country is kept afloat mostly by football money. They may have a fee profitable programs outside of it, but I don't know many schools who's basketball or Baseball program fronts the rest of them.

You’re right. Athletic departments from schools like Indiana are kept afloat primarily from their basketball revenue every year. I’d guess that is rare though I’m sure there are many ADs that are funded more equally via sport than the SEC.

you gotta remember most schools who aren't even good at football are still getting a nice chunk of cash from their conference's TV deals.
Indiana probably makes a ton off basketball, but I imagine a large chunk still comes from football too.
I also don't think Basketball is as profitable as football.

How long before Nike, Under Armor, etc, pull the shoe/equipment contract money? They won't provide the money or the equipment for no product on the field, at least not for long.

I thinknif The seasons canceled they’ll not spend the equipment portion for sure.
But people are still buying TAhirrs so they won’t dump the whole sponsorship especially for big schools.
Very short term to cut an elite
Program loose for 1 season.

Have the SEC season play regardless of what the rest of the soyboys do.
You could play full round robin.
SEC title game is also national title game.

Simple solution
Get rid of title 9 and stop propping up sports that drain the bank

I guess having an AD like ears Mccheapskate might actually payoff in a time like this.Even though he has opened the pocket book lately we still have a huge reserve fund.
Other SEC schools (UT,AU) seem to spend money like drunken sailors.
There'll be CFB in the fall in 1 form or another though.

This would be devastating to smaller schools though. Football and those OOC games early in the season where they basically pay someone to beat them fund the entire athletic department.
I went to a school that when I was there it was called 1aa. A couple of football games and a few of the road basketball games OOC gave huge paychecks that funded all the other sports (in large part). Without those games and without a season they're going to have to cut a lot, and then the title IX problems come in. This could get really ugly for smaller colleges.

Not really.Vested BIG schools make a shitload off their FB TV rights.
They made more money than basketball grossed.
12 Indiana $52.6 million
Even with a 2-7 Big Ten record, Hoosier football raised revenue incrementally, and cleared $28.3M after expenses. That was more than IU basketball’s gross ($27.1M). The football gross was virtually flat from the previous year in Tom Allen’s 2nd season, a 5-7 (2-7) campaign that preceded 2019’s breakthrough to a decent bowl.

Indiana football enjoys the spoils of Big Ten media rights. That’s all they have going for them. Here’s an article that includes a quote from Indiana’s AD.
quote:
Men’s basketball ticket sales continued to outpace football, $11.2 million to $6.8 million, which continues the Hoosiers’ outlier status in the Big Ten. Last fiscal year, IU’s football program was the only one in the conference to make less in ticket revenues than its basketball counterpart.
This is the first time basketball’s ticket sales eclipsed $11 million, and this was the fifth consecutive year that total has been above $10 million.
The university’s 2019 fiscal year ran from July 2018 to June 2019, so these numbers do not speak to IU’s most recent football season, which featured an eight-win record and a bowl appearance. But a lack of football ticket revenue compared to the Big Ten’s perennial powers — for example, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, and Nebraska each generated $30 million or more in the 2018 fiscal year — does constrain IU’s budget.
We’re not the kind of department that runs big surpluses and puts it in reserve funds,” Glass said.
“I’d love to be able to do that, but because we have a small football stadium that we don’t fill, we just don’t generate the kind of monies that other schools do that are able to have extensive reserve funds.”

WGAS? The entire point of the discussion is about REVENUE and who's making the most
and paying for what.
Geez,take your frick medicine an admit you were wrong.
Of COURSE they enjoy the spoils of the BIG
TV revenues.Revenue is revenue.
Do you not understand this?

If the schools are closed in the fall then there will be no college ball. They would have to quaratine the entire team and staff for the duration of the season. They would then have to test everyone after every game. Until there’s a vaccine I don’t see it happening.

The Indiana AD that recently left literally said:
“I think for football’s sake we have to do better,” Glass said. “It also drives revenue for the department. Most Big Ten schools, most of their money comes from football, basketball less. We’re the inversion of that.”
You nasty leg.

But they aren't went it comes to total revenue.
Indian is CLEARLY making more revenue and profit from FB than basketball.
Why do you continually talk about ticket revenue when they are just a PART of the revenue.Geez dude.
Indiana makes more money and profit from FB than basketball. Yes or No?
