Am i reading this right- we only pocketed $40,000 last year because of the sharing rule?

[CrazyCajun]

Yes, that's why I'm pulling for asu or Troy to go to godaddy if we end up in Nola. Hopefully they at least break even

Yes, that's why we need out of this ____ty conference. We went from actually making almost 10 times that amount the first year to giving away several hundred thousand dollars to prop up the WAAAAAAAAAAHOAX.

Money sharing will be the same in any other conference

Yea, but maybe others will do better than losing money so we can all share. Instead everyone sipping out of our cup and none from theirs.

How to say thanks.

"Give me your money and your name."

You would hope so but you have 6 teams drinking from the cup.

But it's a bigger cup because of those 6. Unlike the Hoax those 6 will without a doubt have a bigger fan following than the Hoax. Losing money on a Bowl game is not all that unusual. But losing money on a Bowl in your own backyard?!!! Come on, there is no way they should not have been able to contribute to the conference coffers rather than draining it of resources.

Ain't socialism great.
Works as well in the private sector as it does in the public.
To hell with this conference.

Maybe cusa of old but you think fau will make money? You think north texas will make money? You think fiu would make money? We would have more mouths to feed. We can pretty much accept the fact we will no longer make significant money anywhere but a bcs bowl.

[Hammer58]

No doubt FIU loses money, FAU depends on where they are placed. Same for UNT. Same could likely be said of us. Outside of national powers in the big5, most teams will only make money if placed in regional Bowls.

And keep in mind that in addition to Bowls we will also lose money on our minor sports having to travel to Podunk hard to get to locales like Boone and Statesboro. In football we get to travel to Moscow (not Russia, that would be easier). . In CUSA, we would be in a divisional format with reasonable travel in all sports.

In addition, don't bet on all of these CUSA teams being down for long. Changes in AD and Coaches can improve their on field performance. Nothing will change the locales of Boone, Statesboro, Moscow or Troy.




SUCK IT, HOAX !!!!!

Exactly, us making a ton of money,outside of bcs bowls, no longed happens no matter where we are. North texas maybe, fau can't get 2500 at a home game.

Yes, that is correct.

Not suggesting that we would make boatloads of money in CUSA. But we would be as well off and possibly better off in CUSA. Add in the other advantages of CUSA, i.e. schools associated with, perception, regional ties, travel costs, TV revenue, etc. and it's the conference to be in rather than the Belt, IMO.
