Chomp, chomp! This list appears to be revenue from all athletic events, not just football. Given this is a football board, football revenues would be more helpful. Interesting, tho, that MSU takes in about $2 mil more than UM.

And why does MSU need to spend $2.3 million more than Montana?

They also receive $3 million more in subsidies.

msu always cheats. Steals money from the state. Has many more cigar smoking lobyists than any school in Mt.

Denials will not work on egriz cause we never lie or cheat!

Because we're $4 million better?

The list is about revenues, AZ, not expenses, unless you are referring to something else.

So none of the top schools have student fees. Whats up with that?

Yep, & their baseball, golf, & swimming/diving etc., programs. Adam Scott, who won this year's Master's Tournament, is a UNLV product.

So basically you're saying we need about another $80mil/yr until we can compete with Alabama? :mrgreen:


















Kidding, of course. :wink:

FWIW, MSU athletics is asking for another $2 million in general fund support, this while not seeking to add more scholarship sports as UM is currently.
Those of us who follow such things will recall that when UM was selling out a 16k seat stadium, MSU was receiving $1 million more a year in general fund support because it couldn't keep up. Now that MSU athletics has passed that bench mark, its just looking for more money, not less. One school supports athletics with general fund money. The other, UM, gags at the thought.

So, can someone PLEASE explain to me how MSU could possibly draw in MORE revenue from athletics than Montana? They average 10,000 less per football game (and tickets are much cheaper)...they average 2-3k less in basketball...and what else is there? Are they drawing 75,000 for rodeo?

Well, maybe rodeo & skiing pull in more than we think. I'm sure their ski team competes w/ some pretty big schools: Colorado, for one. (I really don't know if they compete w/ CO. But, skiing may be more of a revenue source than we think.)

They get 2.5 million more in contributions, 200K more in student fees and 3 million more in school funds than Montana. Montana crushes them at the gate by 3 million.

Are you talking about wanting part of the 2 million MSU was giving out to various dept's ? That was denied.

I think the portion of the stadium renovation from the school is partially or fully included in the revenue and expenses.

Both UM and MSU have just over 16 million budgeted for next year according to the BOR's athletic income details.

 

[bobcatfan123]

True that UM does much better with ticket sales. But it does seem as though MSU did much better with overall contributions this year (MSU about 6million, UM 3.5). That is a very significant figure as many msu alumni must be contributing or a few wealthy alum are contributing alot!

 

[Spanky]

Could be due to the leadership of the MSU President?

How about Bobby Hauck and his accomplishment at UNLV, is he also a product, or is this the year for the turnaround.
