Exactly, an athletic department surplus not money for the University. The University will be on the hook for the athletic "employees," insurance, bargaining, long term injury lawsuits, etc.
I fear no one is stepping forward. Maybe we should cycle through again with a pre conf, post conf and pre ncaa jimmyism. I'm sure @Wrestleknownothing can throw together this first one by tomorrow. He may not know wrestling but he knows Jimmy.
What universities are going to want to go through this for any sports? No universities make money on D1 athletics. There are universities with DIA's that maintain a positive cash flow but the university isn't making money off of it. Maybe its time to revert to the Euro approach, keep some club sports and intermurals.
I have raised cattle and yes have an idea. Are rural/farm folks just supposed to give away food because city folks don't know how to budget and want to spend all their money on other things?
I'm sure Jimmy and the Iowa fans really wish he were in the room and this was happening in Coralville right now and blowing up the program right before b10s, just think of the 20 points.
But I'm sure Anthony and AJ will come back to visit and workout once Angelo is in the room so ...
