Bob's Not As Poor As Reported

[ManAboutTown]

WRONG! PEople are asking why Marlin can't consistently finish in top 3 of Sunbelt! Those are the teams listed who have a smaller budget than him.

But all of Marlin's money woes prevents him from finishing in top 3 in the conference. Funny how those teams he can't beat have more money problems than Cajun basketball does.

Nice 2nd grade name calling too. How old are you, junior? Asshat sounds like something you would hear on Southpark....not something a grown ___ man would say. Doubt you are considered a grown ___ man by anyone who knows you anyway.

FYI...on CajunMike's poll I voted to retain the basketball coaching staff. Just don't agree with the excuses being thrown around.

By all means tough guy, get it to know me. I'll shove these grown ___ nuts down your ____ing throat. You always have some smartazz ____ to say, and NO, the conversation was and has been about why we aren't more like LaTech, etc. Shut your azz up and pay attention.

Like I said, we sell more tickets than they do. Plain and damn simple. Wanna take a guess what our travel expenses were this year? I bet it was easily the most expensive in the belt. The conference dicks us around because they know we can afford it.

The people complaining about finishes in the SBC have a legit gripe, but don't tell me this year was like the past few. The league was balanced and tougher. Most of our wins and losses came down to 1 or 2 possessions. We beat the best team in this league. We lost some heartbreakers. We were not completely outclassed at every turn, as some might suggest.

Anywa, bottom line is, you're an idiot.

Those are dollars spent. They include all costs. Our operational costs (also found in the report) are about 200k more than GaSt. IIRC

Also, our operational costs are about 150k less than Little Rock.

Without having dug too deeply into it, I find that extremely hard to believe.

Unless somebody is lying to the feds, those are the numbers.

Dollors for dollars, mandatory reporting to the NCAA.

Correct, Feds oversee Title IX.

"Bob's Not As Poor As Reported"

Bob has never been reported as poor.

His working capital for the program is less than others in part because Bob is not poor, and the part that makes Bob "not poor" can be lopped off the total of actual working capital.

But that doesn't agree with MAT so it must be wrong.

Oh damn! Moving on up to 4th grade playground insults! Must be getting serious!

I'll bet you were the coolest loser on the playground....now you are just a loser not bright enough to express your thoughts without sounding like a child.

Another passive aggressive dip ____ that can't stand to be called out.

Nothing passive about this. I am telling you that your intelligence prevents you from communicating like an adult.

Look you little pvssy, I don't give a damn what you think. Anytime someone calls people like you out, and honestly tells you what you are, sometimes in the form of "name calling", the first thing you dweebs do is pull the "intelligence" card. It's all you have. Because you know you're a pvssy.

"Look everyone! He called me a name! That means he's unintelligent! Never mind that I made an assumption and questioned how seriously his contemporaries take him in real life, but he's dumb because he called me a name!"

The WORST kind of person.

His working capital for the program is less than others in part because Bob is not poor, and the part that makes Bob "not poor" can be lopped off the total of actual working capital.

Coaches salaries are not considered part of operating capital, but are reported separately.

It also appears that the financial support of women's basketball by men's basketball is lower here than at either GaSt or Little Rock; so another of Bob's excuses is just that, an excuse.

We're always being told it's a money issue for the Big Fish.

I still do not understand the point you are making with this thread. Please explain.

Marlin and others near the program have maintained that one of the reasons that basketball has had poor scheduling and poor results is that we lack funds relative to our peers, especially those with either no football or with FCS football, and that subsidizing women's basketball puts our men at a competitive disadvantage. This report, to some degree, exposes that as an excuse rather than a reason.
