It sounds like you want welfare for baseball. Tax the other teams and give baseball the money they earned. I am sure that just because baseball earns more ticket sales, you wouldn't want to have basketball take some of them.
Some of the numbers are 9.4 million watch the college basketball tournament and 1.3 million watch the college baseball World Series. College baseball fans don't seem to be able to get their heads around the fact that two thirds of the country don't care about their sport.

Texas has great guards and good three point shooters. We kept trying to get our guards to outplay theirs. On this night that just wasn't going to happen. Where we did have an advantage was in the paint and we failed to capitalize on it. Richard was 1-10 and Koval, Knox and Joyner only had 10 attempts among them, of which they hit 6. It was a tossup as to whether it was the passes or the catches which backfired but there was very few feeds to the post which could be called good.

We have one of the highest paid rosters in the country. No excuse for this team not to be a top 25 team. But our HC can’t scout and/or develop talent.

It is totally false that we have a highly paid roster compared to other schools. Not only are we not in the top 20 nationally, we aren't even in the top ten in the SEC. In fact most estimates put us next to last in conference. Top players are going for one to two million and our highest paid player is around $800,000.

Really cannot wait to go back to WBB being irrelevant so we only lose $4 mil and we can put that extra money into MBB so maybe we can start making $7-$8 mil+

You create profit by sales less expense, not by big brother putting more money in your account. How would baseball use that 7 to 8 million to create more revenue? You are already selling out home attendance, right? You already have sponsors buying ads and donating score boards(UFCU). You can't control tv revenue by putting more money in the budget? Only thing I can think of is taking on a lot of long term debt and tearing down the baseball field and building one with more seats?

Horrible analogy. Advertising for what? If a corporation was losing money and paid 3 million for a billboard that would be a horrible decision.

If you were smart, you wouldn't gamble.

He definitely has a role on the team. But that role isn't trying to create offense

There was lots of bad offense to look at in this game and Tamba was a small part of it. For instance, Reece an under 30 % three point shooter leading off the game with a quick long one which he missed. Sutton only taking four shots, At least Tamba is hitting a third of his threes which justifies him taking one once in a while. The real problem with this team is shot selection. They pass up fairly good shots to try and work it inside which results in a turnover or missed shot. Tamba has ten foot jumpers open all game and doesn't take them. He never tries to drive even though he has shown great athletic ability and the ability to finish. When our offense consists of Nwoko dunks when open and McKinnon threes when open, we desperately need more shots by Sutton and Tamba just to keep the defense honest if nothing else and I think both could thrive with those mid range jump shots.

I look at this team and I want to hope we can surprise some folks but the realist in me says it will be tough sledding. The key at this point is inside scoring, inside defense and rebounding. Three point shooting is not going to win many games for us as we only hit a third of those attempts. Nwoko and Sutton are going to have a lot on their shoulders. Tamba has proven to be a good all around player but he has to take on more of the offense when they are doubling McKinnon and Nwoko.
We can't allow so many offensive rebounds and putbacks and need more of those ourselves. Nwoko is key and has to stay out of foul trouble. Bench has proven to be ineffective and the starters will probably be very tired toward the end of the season. I still think we have the talent to pull some upsets but can't afford to lose any games we are favored in.
