[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCal-Berkeley athletics is broke. The university fund has subsidized UCal-Berkeley athletic debt for up to $25 million in  2022 and about $19 million in 2021.

The following article linked contains an eye-popping chart of major universities' athletic dept. debt. The debt figures are staggering:

Based on the vast difference in financial stability, I doubt that the Big Ten Conference would give serious consideration to inviting UCal-Berkeley to join the conference.

The Big Ten Conference should ask wealthy Stanford University to join at a reduced share that makes sense for both parties.

(OP again)

I posted the above with the link that has a chart of athletic department debt among major universities.

UCal-Berkeley's debt is the highest in the nation at about $450,000,000 with no way out.

It would be irresponsible for the Big Ten Conference to consider Cal for membership as it is drowning in athletic department debt.

Astonishing. Absolutely irresponsible mismanagement of Cal athletic department from a financial standpoint.

The contrast with ultra-wealthy Stanford University is staggering.

Yes to Stanford in the Big ten Conference at a reduced payout; NO ! to Cal regardless of payout.[/quote]

How on earth does an athletic department rack up a half billion in debt? Absolutely mind boggling.[/quote]

They rebuilt their stadium.[/quote]
