A new and better FBS thread

The above link gives you an idea of what's what for most MW schools..It is not as dire as one might suspect..

The link you posted says Nevada athletics gets 48% of its funding from the school, the state, or student fees…

I don't think that is unusual. Those totals were from 2 years ago when there was still Covid money to subsidize not having any fans in the stands.

Most years the AD comes in pretty close to 50/50. There has been a revenue bump the last couple years.

Having your AD getting subsidized by taxpayers to the tune of $20M each year sounds pretty dire lol

The University receives funds for the school as a whole. That is not not unusual for a State School..The athletic department receives a small percentage of that. Most of that sum goes to waivers for scholarships. The free education cost of that is absorbed by the university..The AD doesn't get a wad of cash for that.

If your contention is that the AD is bankrupting the school and the state, I can't stop you. They have apparently been bankrupting everybody for 150 years..

The schools of the MW are doing fine..It just comes down to budgets and revenue..

I didn't say anything other than the athletic department at the University of Nevada gets subsidized by $20M per year. This is triple than what NDSU receives for state/state-institution support. I didn't say anyone is bankrupting anyone. I didn't even say that it's not money well spent. But any organization that gets half of its money subsidized by a public entity is going to have questions about its sustainability. Especially when that subsidization rate is increasing.

I've said it a dozen times here: if NDSU (or SDSU, UND, Montana, Montana State, etc.) was subsidized like the rest of the MW schools, they would have MW budgets.

After a while some of this starts to sound like how proud we are in North Dakota that the public doesn’t pay very much to support public institutions of higher education.

Most of ND is proud that we don’t pay for anything. Stash it all away so we can take it with us when we all die!!!!!

Feel free to hear what you want to hear I guess. I didn’t say what you’re insinuating, I could argue actually the opposite. Nothing would make me happier than ND investing more in higher education. We could spend all weekend arguing whether state money going towards athletics counts as going towards education. I’ll choose to save my breath on that.

What I’m saying is the difference in athletic budgets at NDSU and Nevada is state support. Winds blow and that state/institution support ends up not being as safe as previously thought.
