Chcexking under KSU’s hood

I'm not sure how smart that is of the Big 12. They are absolutely correct, but if you get on ESPN shitlist and they won't broadcast you if the league is saved, what does that get you? You are biting the hand that feeds so to speak.

What effect would a significant conference downgrade for KU Football have on KU Basketball, in terms of revenue?

My understanding is that KU Football is the primary revenue driver at KU, despite their futility.

Posting this again because as it stands now KU Football is at an all-time low and there's really nowhere to go but up. This is why KU is attractive to conferences, they make money even with football sucking and if that stops happening, even a little bit, this revenue spikes.

My understanding is that football is the top money maker by a little bit, but KU basketball still makes a shit ton of money on their own.

KU basketball could probably hold itself up on it's own, it's such a great program, but you're right there's just more to it than that. Football is the big money sport everywhere. I'm sure a lot of their fans would be happy just making sure basketball is propped up but the athletic dept. and the university are going to run it like a business, and it's going to be a hard sell gutting your primary revenue driver. It could cost jobs and create some questions about how you fund the other sports.

Imagine the Big 12 successfully forces UT and OU to stay through to 2025 and Texas actually passes that legislation that any school must get permission to move athletic conferences in the meantime.

That's impressive for KU considering Big 10 schools get more media rights fees to enhance their revenue than KU does from the Big 12.

You post the image over and over and it still doesn't mean shit.

lol okay man

Interesting that the previous graphic above left out Texas at the top and ALL the SEC programs. Correction: It left out everyone EXCEPT the Big 12 and Big 10. Seems a bit . . . . . . disingenuous?

Probably just an oversight. I'm sure that was accidental. :rolleyes:



Edit: Sorry, I know that's not an easy list to read, but was having trouble copying the graphic from my phone. But if you click on the link above, much easier to read and you can see how all the SEC teams plus Texas and Oklahoma were omitted. As well as every other conference, minus the Big 12 and Big 10.

Revenue, yes, profit no. KU football is not very profitable. KU basketball is very, very profitable.

Did you know this list was only including Big 10 and Big 12 teams when you posted it?

Just curious.

Most of the big revenue schools are not very 'profitable' if you look at the difference between their revenues and expenses. A lot barely even break even.

Expect Texas A&M, which is just killing it since they moved to the SEC. Crazy difference between their total revenues and their expenses. Most profitable program in college sports currently.
