One of the reasons for our conservative spending?

[savannahfan]

Not conservative, you can not spend money you do not have.

Unless you are the federal government!

 

[loosecannon]

Football is the only sport that makes money (Outside of a few programs, and even then it’s peanuts comparatively).

In our case, FB, MBB, and Baseball all make a profit at least in the 2023 financial reports.

The spring portal window only allows us to target non SEC players, and I’m not sure how many stud WR/OL will come from non SEC schools that weren’t good enough to crack their starting lineup

A case in point - - Brazzel -- he was a "world beater" at Tulane - now it's "welcome to the big leagues"

 

[Batman1948]

Maybe…just maybe… heupel is playing chess and not scooping up guys until portal window was closed to avoid more leaving. Yes, another opening in spring but just my guess he is playing chess.

When UT hired Danny White, he said he would fix all the leaks in the athletic department, and he did just that. No information is being leaked, and I think that's the way it should be.

UT will be just fine going forward

OSU has 10 FF? When? Im 53 and have followed NCAA BBALL for 40+ of them and I cant remember them in a FF maybe twice. Interesting.

Most of OSU’s Final Fours happened before you were alive. They’ve only been to three since 1968.

 

[KittenVol]

Yeah okay, Ohio State has been pretty damn good in mens bb. 10 ff and a natty.
Georgia BB has a ff .

Tennessee has as many tournament wins (5) in the last two years as UGA has in their entire history. They’re a joke program.

Bama AD tells fans to 'fight back,' help fund NIL

After narrowly missing the expanded College Football Playoff, Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne is urging Tide fans to "fight back" and help fund the school's NIL fund.

Could be we don't wanna give cash to a guy who is here for one year and then goes looking for more money

Could be also that a lot of NIL is invested in ONE person when it takes 22 to win a football game.

Could. I have not seen a breakdown of what each player is getting....not sure that report exists for public view.

Except fans finding out yesterday that Boo was meeting with coaches to discuss playing offense, here or elsewhere.

Well that's 3 more than we have, EVER!

Georgias final four came in 1982 and was just a complete fluke they made it that far...They got smoked by NC State in the final four....Just because you get to the FF doesn't mean squat if you don't win it.

I'm 61 and can only remember a couple too. I'm pretty sure they went in 2007 when we had them down 17 in the second half and they came back and won in a Sweet 16 game. We were a 5 seed that year

 

[N.ohio vol]

Alot of us care about ALL of our student athletes and enjoy UT sports year round.

It's been nice that no matter what sport it is we've been dominating. Not to many schools are in the shape we're in. Baseball just won a national championship. Basketball is #1 football team in playoff. Women's team just broke a record for 30+ 3s in a game. I'm sure our other sports are doing well also.

Hahaha. Of course they're a joke.The point is, they've made the" elusive" final four.....

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Anyone know how far away the basketball programs, baseball, and softball are from making profit?

Men’s basketball makes a profit

 

[VolPack22]

I would rather have competitive sports all year long so there is something to look forward to whenever a sport comes to a close. Basketball and baseball have been very exciting sports for this fan and if that means not going all-in for football NIL then so be it.
