It's not KU's meal ticket. For what university is this true?

And then we had this...

Kansas....... $17,676,175 (football)... .$70,614,953 (everything else)


That's 52 million $ difference. If KU pulled in only 15 mill then you're saying the rest of KU's athletic revenue made 37 million?

The numbers posted earlier were incorrect. Plain and simple.

Stop. Save yourself the frustration. I'm a KU fan and even I can admit you'll never get him to see it.

Oh yeah, Plow posted it first, thanks.
Have you ever heard anyon say bball makes more $ than fball? It's bizzarro world.

And just because your school sucks at EVERYTHING ELSE doesn't mean bball makes more $ than fball.

What was the 7-1 schedule?

I could be being mislead by the fact that they went from first to worst in only two years or that they lost 7 conference games in a row and the coach was being replaced at midseason.... but I do not think any objective observer sees this program as on the rise.

They see a team that was well coached for the first time in a long while and found a good QB, and the schedule and momentum all created a perfect storm.

We will see what Gil can do, but really. That is not a program on the rise right now.

Possibly. But it takes true dedication to see the figures and then disregard them.

The only major university, I would have to think, that might have a chance of making more money in basketball than football might be Duke. But that's damn near an entirely different animal b/c this is more akin to an Ivy League school.

Oh for FFS. We have discussed about the Turner Gil hiring.

Last year's Buffalo team was pretty young team.

Also, his first year in Buffalo was 2-10.
After that, it was 5-7.
Then it was 8-6.

Sometimes W-L's can be a little skewed with the first year, when he didn't have much to work on. But he has shown some improvement.

It also helps KU to have a former Big XII guy who has some experience in the conference. I should also point out that Gill served as position coach for two first team All-Americans, Tommie Frazier and Eric Crouch, with Crouch also earning the Heisman Trophy under Gill's tutelage. The Cornhuskers earned three national championships in Gill's time as an assistant there.

It also helps that he has strong ties in Texas.

Yep. Duke is an example of basketball making more.

11.8 in basketball.
9 in football.

Check post 1869.

The fact that this number is so close for a school as dominant in basketball and absolutely pathetic in football (maybe 2 wins a year) should tell everyone something about the power of football.

Yeah , I'm sure you are right. I have no doubt there may be a small number of individual schools that make more $ on bball than fball but to say what numb nuts is saying, that overall bball makes more $ than fball, is downright amusing.

When/If Missouri & Nebraska leave the conference, can those of you who are colossal douchebags, go elsewhere too?

What does this even mean?

It means the guy that thinks he's going to become an internet millionaire by selling "Big16.tv" thinks you're an asshole.

I'm pretty broken up about it.

ROFL

Declare something that is correct incorrect, then don't offer any proof towards your claim. Brilliant!

That's fine. I am an asshole. I'm no douchebag, though.

I was more remarking on the nonsense that is asking Mizzou & Nebraska fans to leave a Chiefs message board because their colleges are changing conferences.

You are much nicer on twitter and professional

List for the new "Pack of 10"?

I'm upset that I didn't try it long ago.

I guess it means that the Mountain West will become the new "OFFICIAL" College Conference of ChiefsPlanet.

I already got boned out of the Horsemen and the Gang of 14. I'm gonna be ****ing irate if I don't get included among this particular list of douchebags.

LMAO. I'm hoping for the vaunted triple crown.

LMAO

Who is this smoke?

n00b is retarted.

It's just Aridouche i believe, his tweets are not douchetastic

Oh it's a mult not a n00b?

Sadly, I'd have to become a MU or NU fan PDQ for consideration. I'll take the 2/3.

Good luck, my friend.

LMAO

He ditched "AriChiefs" at 25k posts and started over, so not really a mult.

Hell, he told us all. It's no secret.

Technically, it is mult, but I think he abandoned the original account.

I want in on this as well.


Dear Kansas,

Nobody loves you.

Thus far, the "Pack of 10":

DJ's Left Nut
Crush
DeezNutz

Sure Oz?
Reaper?
KcMizzou?

I'm not exclusively an MU guy but count me in, sure.

Make sure Bugeater and Billay get in on this; gotta' have some Husker representation. **** Sam Hall though.

LMAO

This is awesome

:D

LMAO

How valid is this emoticon? Has this been published in a scholarly journal?

Yeah, give me a link, please. Blogs by professors don't count, BTW.

If it hasn't I will make it so.

All I know is:

ROFL - LMAO = Basketball Revenue.

It has to.

Aligning yourself with billay is akin to adding CoMo to your group.

Find a better NU representative.

You just now figuring that out?

If you don't include Fraz, there might only end up being a "Pack of One" - you're all getting the Fridge Treatment.

They are being realigned around academics! /Mizzoufan :rolleyes:

You think getting left out is bad, I was apparently a member of the Gang of 14 and I never even knew it. I let a lot of internet cred go to waste.

Sometimes a good Whirlpool must be sacrificed for the betterment of the group. :evil:

I'm not good.

I can take the spot if you want

This is only your second post in this thread, you're really going to have to step up the douchiness if you want to make the cut.

k.


So this is still about basketball right?

Basketball is the only thing that anything is ever about.

Done deal yet? The call was supposed to be made today.

/sarcasm

If your school was actually good at basketball then you would understand. /Wickedfail

KU created John Wooden and the sport of basketball duh

Every mention of KU basketball nets more revenue for the University of Kansas.

ROFL

15 > 17

If by 'academics' you mean football teams and cable subscribers then yes, academics it is. :D

:D

:clap:

Just bring your douche game and it can be about whatever you want.

Anyways....

Always reliable Mizzou beat write Dave Matter via Twitter.

I just heard a news bulletin... Beebe wants us all to collect as many Campbell's soup labels as we can to keep the current Big 12 roster in major conferences! Only we can keep Baylor/ISU/KU's BCS hopes alive :-)

I'm not sure how to reply to this. It can be taken in so many wrong directions.

Someone on our local station here said the same thing yesterday. After all, what the hell is the Big XII going to do if they just say "uhhh...we haven't decided anything yet"?

Sweet, does everyone know that a former KU basketball player is playing tonight?

Maybe make them play a basketball game against KU with the winner making the decision on what to do with the league

http://campuscorner.kansascity.com/node/914

What's with the circle jerk making fun of KU bball? How do you think MU fans would act if they were a perennial power in basketball and KU wasn't good at anything?

Should KSU be upset here? After all if KU had a credible football program, the two for one might make sense to some major conference


:-)

How can the B12 be talking about expansion when the pasture is so much greener in B10 and two school who want to go there badly are waiting for the invitation? B12 has no trump cards in this, they don't have a choice in the matter, they have to react. Besides, Texas has too much pull and that's another thing causing dissension among other, less fortunate schools.

I said that 2 days ago in this very thread, dammit!

If MU has the invite, of course it's in their best interest to ignore the ultimatum, provided their damn sure they have a soft landing lined up. Make the Big 12 throw them out of the conference, avoid the buyout penalty in their Big 12 contract and then accept the Big-10 offer.

It'd save them millions.

Keitzman is on right now saying that switching conferences for academic reasons is extremely risky because all that Big10 grant/research money is going to suddenly "go away". Uh, yeah.

As an unbiased outsider, it appears to me that no one is making fun of KU Basketball, only the douchebags that think winning a Championship once every 25 years makes KU CBB royalty - and that a move to the Mountain West couldn't possibly hurt the program - you're Kansas, for Christ sake. Top recruits will want to play for us no matter what.

From my view, I see a lot of KU fans, both good (Guru, Lzen, etc) and douchbags alike scared shitless that they are about to be left out in the cold, and the douchebags will say just about anything to rationalize it.

Exactly.

On the surface, it would probably sound great to 2 undetermined schools to come to the B12 - until they realize that their only role in the whole thing is to make Texas richer.

I think the point they're trying to make is that even if MU gets no invite, it's unlikely the B12 will kick them out because the effect on the B12 is going to be the same as losing the schools to B10, which is what the ultimatum is trying to prevent to begin with.

I know this has been posted, but it absolutely owns:

Yes. ****ing hilarious.

What an idiot.
