Oh trust me, I understand perfectly.dupuyer griz said:I’d post a picture if it wasn’t next to impossible on this damn phone. You can click on any school by bouncing around in that link. In the bottom right it will show the school and you can click on the institutional profile. Above the pie chart or whatever the hell we want to call that thing there is an option for where the money goes and where the money comes from. Under UM it’s 8.01 million and under Boise state it’s 19.59 million. It’s actually a difference of 11.58 million. Boise state is about as close to us as you can get. Also, also, also, didn’t the university spend a metric shot ton of money to a firm to figure the numbers out? All I did was use the link provided that shows the value of moving up to show that there isn’t going to be a windfall of money. The students and taxpayers will absolutely have to pick up the tab for the move. I’m sure they’ll all be tripping bc over themselves to do that. There’s four pages of we’ll make so many more million moving up and we are losing money staying in fcs. They’re full of shit if they think that’s the case.garizzalies said:Not really; I think you got it backwards. There’s a link supporting the media revenue figures but nothing to support your personal extrapolation based on complete speculation.
My point is you don’t know for sure and are really just guessing. You have a predetermined outcome already in mind and you are back-filling rank speculation to support it. Which is fine, I just think that should be made clear to the board.
I personally think there is a defeatist attitude around here on this subject and one the U should avoid. As the venerable CDA might say, “it can’t be done, just can’t; we’ve always done it this way and it’s the only way.”
If and when playoffs in the G5 occurs or an invite comes along, we must be ready to pounce immediately. We cannot take a wait and see approach or we will be left in the dust. There’s only one good team left in FCS for cripes sake. One! All the rest have left already. Why the hell would we want to the the last one holding the bag?
