ULM profiting more?

Why has this conversation turned to a money game debate? The original post shows that ULM gets almost $800k more in conference distribution.

My bad, I just noticed my soft schedule pet peeve and how ULM also gets two and a half times what Louisiana gets in guarantee money games.

In the big picture, that is just strategic and for a different discussion.

The question presented is why is ULM getting more conference money?

I wish it was because Louisiana had said "Louisiana Saturday Nights, or bust," but I know thats not why.

Maybe UL got bowl expenses the conference covered deducted and the only bowl ULM worries about is full of Captain Crunch.

ULM budgets the full 3% max allowed; UL only budgets 2%.
That 1% for UL is $10-12,000,000 less than max allowed.

So when UL is over budget by 8 million.......they were actually under full max budget allowed by 2-4 million.

Why does UL only budget 66% of the state max allowable funds? No clue. My best guess is.....
LTURd"s max 3% and our budgeted 2% are nearly the same value. UL is roughly 1/3 larger.

UL.has been under budgeting for years.....they only budget for 2% of revenue vs the allowable 3%. In the past 2 decades......they were under max allowable budget roughly $150,000,000

That’s a lot of money.

You can make a nice down-payment on a football stadium with that kind of money.

Also, remember, Iowa St. was in the B12 championship game that in 2020. They had really good season that helped keep us in the top 20. They lost to Ok 27-20 or thereabouts.

What is the actual General Fund for the university? I don’t have time to look it up at the moment.
