I heard that Yale couldn't send their band so the Yale band at the game was actually Idaho's, in Yale sweaters.
That worked out. Playing with funny money now.
I have them beating Duke and losing to Houston
what were the odds?William and Mary might be able to offer NIL and they might be able to pay well. I don't know if Earl thinks it would be easier to take the Princeton job if he moves from a non-Ivy school, but that assumes the Tigers current coach would give up that job.
Even if the money is spread socialist style across the roster, that's a start. Couldn't do it for football, but hoops and hockey could work
Well, Donahue is a decent coach so ...
Portico@Sportico.@JMUSports spent $68 million on athletics in fiscal 2023 and reported funding $53.3 million of it via mandatory student fees, charged annually to every JMU student as part of their tuition - $2,362 per student per year, is earmarked for funding athletics.It’s by far the largest sum of any public school in the country
This might explain JMU's rise in basketball and its success in football:They go on to note that the student surcharge is 4x what student athletics generates in revenue for the school and is about 85% more than the #2 school in the FBS (Old Dominion). UVA ranks 10th at $16.1 million in annual student fees.
That’s just crazy. Is some of this because the Virginia schools are transparent. In other words do they just hide these fees at other places?
I’d imagine at more established schools alumni donations cover a lot of the fees, that and tv revenue. JMU wants to play with the big boys.
I guess so but they have to cover all the non revenue sports also. It’s big business I guess.
