ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

That crappy city school generates some nice revies.

"U of L reported athletic revenue of $74.936 million for the 2010-11 fiscal year during a meeting of its athletic association Tuesday. That was a $22.5 million increase over the previous year. It was $10.5 million more than projected and created a surplus of roughly $7 million, most of which will be designated to a contingency fund for debt payments on the football expansion."

I'm not sure about Mizzou, but based on what I found, their total Athletic Department revenue in 2009-2010 was $55,674 ,279.

Does anybody have figure for 2010-2011 fiscal year? I'd guess they probably dwarf that of Louisville, that crappy little city school.

Oh no you don't! Don't go throwing facts in this drama!

But they already have a built in escape, "the Prison Walls."

That being said, I bet they get the very best shot from every Big 12 team now, even in softball.

I don't think the players give two shits about most the alignment talk, honestly.

If it makes people feel better, think of them as Kentucky State University, based out of Louisville. It isn't the name that matters, its the school.

Ha ha Mizzou. You had the conference by the balls and forced us to give you everything you wanted. You completely won the negotiation and leveraged that into a much better deal. Ha ha!

I won't laugh at Mizzou. I'll laugh at its fans.

Really? I am not going to argue with you, but there has been many posts on here saying the Big 12 is going to lose recruiting battles, due to the realignment, TCU etc.

But I was really referring to the Coaches, putting in a little extra effort. Similar to what the Chiefs saw from Chan Gailey, if you buy into that.

I'll gladly take louisville in the big 12

national bball brand w/ hall of fame coach (and abortionist)...massive upgrade in talent level and success from MU

a football program with money behind it, just needs a coach (see: petrino)...they can compete at some point, unlike KU football

gives KU basketball a toe hold into the south for recruiting..

I have always had respect for Louisville, back to their MO Valley days. Those were some epic battles. Cincy as well.

Louisville's football program made a profit if $15 million. Mizzou's made $25 million.

I'm not sure about any extra effort from coaches. Just seems like that would take a Kietzman-like level of insecurity, one that a doubt a guy like Bob Stoops/Old Man Snyder has.

Someone....I believe saulbadguy.....a link to an article showing the top revenue schools in the country and which sport (football/basketball) brought in the most revenue. Louisville was listed in I believe the top 20 in the country in total revenue and was the only bball school listed in the top 30/40.

I've been looking for that article, but can't find it.
