Is UL Athletics Broke?

Nice job with the research Vic..

[fanof71]

I think Vic raises a good question. I’ve been asking this for a while. I see the legislative auditors reports for the past few years and it raises questions. I bring it up and someone says “yea, it’s more complicated with that” or something.

In each year we have ~$16 million in “direct institutional support.” That’s the answer. Now you gotta find a definition for that i suppose

Yet more great research...

Spirited debate about money trees is no longer allowed here.

Something just does not add up and apparently we will never get to the bottom of it.

Is there any wonder why expenses remain greater than funds here . . . It appears to be a self inflicted matter . . .

There was not one post about a money tree or money trees in the affected posts. In fact not a si gle post about finances.

Only posts related to you getting misty eyed were affected.

One person”s trash is another person’s treasure. That does not change based upon your whim, or I guess it does.

Get funds over expenses, it is within your control . . .

Edit: I say this because after getting the runaround on my Covid refund, I stopped my 2 parking passes, 5 season tickets and 4-figure rcaf donation only to be told thank you and hear the phone click. They hung up before I did!

Just curious: you brought up alot of points in the thread re:gameday experience and why you don’t attend football games.

Sounds like you don’t attend bc of an ax to grind - not bc the concessions are too long??

If we’re not broke, we’re certainly living paycheck to paycheck.

The agenda here isn’t exactly a secret. There only a certain few goals with this discussion:

- Erode confidence in CMD (by insinuating that he’s all we could afford)
- Erode confidence in Maggard (by insinuating that he mismanaged various things related to the budget)
- The notion that we aren’t prepared to pay the money to be big time like we think we are (kinda sounds like “know your place, little brother”, huh?)

I see this thread is still going. Let's do a progress check:

- Erode confidence in CMD (by insinuating that he’s all we could afford)
DEBUNKED
- Erode confidence in Maggard (by insinuating that he mismanaged various things related to the budget)
STILL BEING ATTEMPTED
- The notion that we aren’t prepared to pay the money to be big time like we think we are (kinda sounds like “know your place, little brother”, huh?)
STILL BEING ATTEMPTED

And yes, I know the first thing Cav-Vic is going to do is quote where I said I would stay out of the discussion. And I am. Just checking in on my early analysis of the agendas here.
