NO LIKE NEW SBC RULE ( Revenue Sharing )

[NOCajun]

Reading a Dan McD article it looks like the UL ticket revenue will be right at $1mill---UL's take would be the first $500K and then a 50/50 split for $250k more----BUT now the CAjuns per new Belt rule must split the take with the conference---ergo the $750K shrinks to $375K---Quick little loss there right---They will share in the conference take of the other bowl participants but don't know what helps more ---I would think the former!!!-----Also do the old/new members share in the take???

And Now you all know why Notre Dame REFUSES to get in a football conference!!

CUSA shares bowl revenues also. So....

They also share millions of dollars of tv revenue. So....we have to give money to other schools to help pay their bowl expenses while we bring 21k to a bowl and might break even

[bustleup]

Says that all the ADs voted for rule. I wonder how Scott voted? I'd think he'd be against given away money that we clearly made ourselves!

[CrazyCajun]

Screw the conference...they cannot enforce that kind of rule when they have no buy out. I would tell them if they want their money...come get it.

It's not the conference, the presidents vote on that, thank T joe

CUSA is no BCS conference...they penny pinch just like the belt does. Their conference members...have bigger budgets than we do. Do the math.

Once again...screw the conference. Their barely is a conference anymore. Starting to like the sound of Cajunnation's idea of going Independent.

[CrazyCajun]

Cusa schools get 1.2 million each from TV, guess how much we get??

[douglas]

This would make sense if there were other piles of money being shared like tv. Or if it was a much bigger pile of money for a bigger bowl. But to split an already small pot so many ways makes no sense. This new way everyone in the conference gets a little piece of not much

[BeauCajun]

Sounds like the federal gubment. Dang I really didn't want this to turn into a political thread. Please don't steer it that way.

That sucks. The other conferences that bowl revenue share... get some revenue from other members. We won't get squat from anyone else in the SBC. We alone kick butt on attendance. It's Cajun fan money. And we have to pass it to the other conference members that can't put 1/3 of the fans in the NO Bowl in any given year? That really sucks.

The ADs AND Presidents all voted for this. So, Farmer and Savoie approved it. And, schools that knew they were leaving the conference voted for it, i.e. MT, FIU and UNT. Next thing is they will approve the proposed $10M buy-out to get out of the conference. That will allow UL to remain secure in staying in the Sunbelt and can then say we can't afford to get out now. In the meantime, the Sunbelt adds 4 1AA schools and remains the mickey mouse conference it is. And, don't be surprised if 2 of those schools come from the Southland Conference. The lack of vision is alarming. And, Farmer keeps blaming it on our budget and small market, while a school 2/3 our size in the tiny town of Ruston, stays another step ahead of us despite its greater shortcomings. Last time I checked, Tech is located in Louisiana as well and has similar state budget issues as UL, yet understands the importance of athletics and what it can do to change perceptions and create separation with higher expectations. UL seems to just want to stay in its comfort zone. UL has a wonderful opportunity to wine and dine CUSA officials and show off our university before a national audience. But, the Master Plan is still not ready and we struggle with budget issues yet agree to share bowl revenue with conference bowl teams who don't contribute 20% of what we do and others who contribute 0%. With all of the realignment shuffling that is about to take place, if UL is not included in at least CUSA, and our leaders allow us to remain a part of the Sunbelt, there is no need to bring out a Master Plan. Who will want to support a conference that expands with teams like Lamar and Sam Houston State? Don't count me as one of them.

Last year T-Joe had to use slight of hands to slice a million bucks from the RCAF, in conjunction with an over zealous non proportional cut because Bobby, I never saw an education dollar not worth taking, Jindal and the state took three million from the university. This year Benson decides it is perfectly OK for sixty bus load of Toppers to supplement their loss on the backs of UL fans on the UL NOB money.

The Hoax about an hour away from their bowl get to dip their greedy claws into the UL take. Damn there is just no justice, those clowns are buying their tickets outside the MoanRow athletic office because the Independent gave them crap tickets to sell, so again UL and RCAF will underwrite another non producing group.

Clearly the socialist rule to help those who cannot help themselves sucks. It really is a rule to supplement those who won't help themselves. If I were king, no team gets a dollar from another teams bowl adventure until they buy all their allotment, in other words WKU you need another hundred buses before you get a cut of others share.

And yes I would feel the same if UL was headed to Detroit City. I would buy my tickets and try and attend, but if I could not, I would offer them to UL students , Detroit Big Brothers/Big Sisters, or US Vets. The WKU and MoanRow group should do the same, buy your g damn allotment.

Just saying

From 2001 to 2010 we took bowl revenues from other teams. You didn't think it was unfair then. Why is it so unfair now?

As on so many topics you are wrong again. Read the article. This is the first year this new policy is going into effect.
