[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah...but Alabama ran a deficit of $28MM on their athletics and Georgia ran a profit of $4MM.  The only thing that matters is the net profit on the athletic spend, not the gross revenue.

Georgetown brought in $57MM of athletic revenue and broke-even.  Therefore, they came out ahead compared to Alabama.[/quote]
You sound like the kind of person who didn't buy AMZN or NVDA stock when they weren't making a profit.[/quote]

That’s funny…you just sound like a f**king idiot who bought pets.com.[/quote]
If you invest equal amounts in four speculative stocks and one of them grows 8000 percent while the other three bust, guess what? Your ROI is still astronomically high.[/quote]

Ok?  wtf does that have to do with anything, in particular the fact that SEC schools basically just break even on their athletic spend and in fact contribute nothing towards hiring professors or other general school activities.

You have no idea what you are talking about.  The SEC pays some of the highest salaries to professors in the country.  They also have amazing capital improvements while taking on minimal debt.  Why do you think all these schools (Stanford, Brown, Northwestern) are laying off literally hundreds while the SEC schools have announced incredible professor recruits and research projects?

None of that money comes from sports revenue.  You literally have no idea what you are talking about.  There is no hidden source of sports revenue that isn’t already accounted for in the athletic budget.

If what you say above is true it’s coming from other sources of revenue.

FYI the highest paid professors are all at Ivy League and similar schools…that’s no surprise.[/quote]

Yes, it does. And no, they definitely are not.  [/quote]

Love it…you’ve been schooled and this is your only response…go back to focusing on how well the football team performs in the field, because that’s the only place you will be winning.[/quote]
