Financial Impact of no football in Missoula? No Fans in stands?

[CatGrad-UMGradStu]

I've read several articles advocating a split season. Spring football instead of just scrimmages and practices!

I'd love a spring season at this point. Please god, just give me some football.

Watching the weather get better as the season goes on would be kind of interesting.

Even better would be having some unsuspecting team get to Montana on Wednesday or Thursday to 75-80 degree weather and then one of those springtime winter storms hits where we get a couple feet of snow Friday night and it drops down into the 20s.

This USAToday article is worth reading.

The financial impact of no football at UM this fall is considerable to UM and the community. The revenue generated from 9 or 10 games by the university is substantial. Although I’m not an attorney, I think the revenue is chump change when you compare it to the potential liabilities involved by UM and the State of Montana.

FROM KEM

Socialism is actually something far different than that. No wonder you like it; you have no idea what it is.

Ok Kem, here is one definition of socialism "a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

So if you are saying that Government reimbursing UM for playing no football because that would be the death blow for UM football isn't using taxpayer dollars for "regulating the economy for the community as a whole", then just what would it be? Please provide your (documented) definition of socialism. By the way do you collect social security, use medicare, drive on government maintained roads, depend on government provided law enforcement, etc? All socialism - and it aint so bad.

He doesnt have one, he just believes what hes been told to believe, capitalism gooood, socialism baddddd.

People get confused, its wellfare for the corporations, capitalism for the rest.

Robert Reich
@RBReich
The coronavirus stimulus package carved out $135,000,000,000 in tax breaks for millionaires.

That's *three times* as much money as was included for emergency housing and food relief.

When I say we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest, this is what I mean.

I think what Reich meant was the the stimulus helped businesses who employ a lot of people. The stimulus didn't go to milionaires.

My view is that my fellow Dartmouth guy Bob Reich is an idiot. His is so political, that most of what he says should be disregarded.

Hahahahaha, yeah everyone, Rob Reich you know, the former labor secretary for what 3-4 presidents, Labor Secretary that oversaw the only federal surplus at the time within the last 30 years (I THOUGHT REPUBLICANS WOULD LOVE THIS).....that guy, doesnt know shit about economics, or govt, but PR does.

What a douche.

Socialism takes money/income from companies and individuals, and allows the government to spend and distribute it.

Capitalism is the opposite. It allows companies/individuals to keep more of their money to invest or spend as they see fit.

Reduced taxes allows companies/people to keep more of their money. That's not socialism.

It's not socialism for the rich. By the way, the rich, including companies, employee and create most of the jobs for the rest of us.

Some of you need history, economics and political lessons.

For a Dartmouth guy, Robert Reich is pretty out to lunch.

This fuckin guy still believes the whole "trickle down economics" thing they brainwashed his generation into believing, hahahahha

So Badlands, please explain where Player is wrong.

So Badlands, please explain where Player is wrong.

We can only assume that it is just wrong to disagree with Badlands.

What a douche.

We went to the same college. I know about about him. He’s just a flaming liberal who doesn’t understand business, economics, and job creation. Like Krupman, he allows his politics to overwhelm his economics. Reich was already a big deal in college. He has done very well for himself (and was a Rhodes scholar), especially for someone with Fairbanks disease which resulted in him being only 4’11”. I see that Krugman is 5’7”. What’s with these short flaming liberals.

Where is the trickle?

The trickle was that, pre-Covid, unemployment was the lowest in many decades, wages were up, employment for blacks and Hispanics was way up, wages for blacks and I think for Hispanics were way up and had increased at higher rate for those at the low end, and the middle class was making a comeback. None of which had occurred under Obama.

Some of you need to do some research and thinking, and produce views and ideas bigger than a talking point.

good grief, all of those trends began under Obama's administration: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-45827430 outside the durability of the stock market, how are those numbers looking lately?

Makes you wonder how tall Badlands and Dutch are.

They've been saying that since the Reagan years. It's been a race to the bottom ever since, under both Democrats and Republicans. Just remember, the only reason your employer doesn't whip you for more production is because there are laws against that. But eventually those laws/regulations will be seen as just red tape by the multinationals and you know who owns the politicians.

And yet look at that graph. Those 2 bottom lines look pretty flat.
