Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[Bull Martin]

 

 

 

The ACC took Louisville because they were the best complete package out there by far. They were already more profitable then FSU was even while still in the AAC.

Yes to the first statement, no to the second.

Huh? your own data says otherwise. I added the profit column. It's equal to  revenue - expenses + subsidy

 

RANK    SCHOOL    TOTAL REVENUE    TOTAL EXPENSES    TOTAL SUBSIDY    % SUBSIDY profit

18    Louisville    $96,193,330     $92,383,221     $10,914,122     11.35        $14,724,231

24    Florida State    $91,382,441     $84,772,759     $7,859,734     8.6        $14,469,416

 

 

The statement was that Louisville was already more profitable. Louisville is what, $250,000 ahead and takes in $3,000,000 more from the students?

 

Louisville athletics are doing a fantastic job. They earned every bit of their entrance into the ACC. They can hold their own with anyone in the conference on the basketball court and their football team is in the upper tier. Their other athletics are solid across the board with their baseball team making huge strides recently. They are not more profitable than FSU already.

 

 

 

Considering FSU takes in $15+ million more in TV revenue, UL will be ahead of them very soon

They very well could. But that wasn't the statement.

The original statement was still true in spite of the student fee disparity.

Agreed.

[JTrue]

Yes. Louisville is more profitable than FSU by virtue of it forcing its students to give more of their money to athletics whether they like it or not. I will concede my loss in this argument and agree, the ACC chose Louisville partially on this strength.

wow their revenue is DOUBLE what ours is? sheeeeeiiitttt

[Who'sYourData?]

wow their revenue is DOUBLE what ours is? sheeeeeiiitttt

 

Keep in mind that is before the increase they will receive this year in the ACC.  

 

And people wonder why they were selected over USF.

If I were a betting man, I'd say its because they're better than us at any sport that uses a ball and more people watch their games.
