That is enough to buy out Lick, buyout Tenn for Pearl, and pay Pearl his first year at $2.5 million. Then the increase in ticket sales will bring this right back up in 2 years tops.

Is the practice facility in this equation? Along with the Carver renovations?

Top line.

Fascinating. Thanks. I like your unicorn, btw.

Interestingly, Iowa was 10mil in the black. ISU was about dead even at 38mil in and 38 mil out (much smaller overall budget than Iowa).

I looked up thee OSU, and noted that their program is huge, something like 115m in rev (versus Iowa's eightysomething mil). However, it appears that in that specific year, Iowa had a better overall margin. Very interesting to compare schools.

[racerhawk]

We had about the same (10mil) margin as Texas. huh.

[storminspank]

These are 2007-08 #s.

"Other operating expenses" - over $6M. Wonder what those are.

Who are we paying a 'severance package' to? I don't remember firing any head coaches in the past 10 years.

You should make a Liger one... my best bud still doesn't believe they exist.

[racerhawk]

Well, I believe.

Dang, I looked at all three years, and Iowa has a pretty consistent margin.

It sure doesn't hurt that football is doing well these days. Now, let's get that basketball thing going again...

Wow, I'm blind. It seems like tickets for football games alone should be higher than that number though.
