Me: "Kansas made $100m more than Mizzou last seven years."

MU fan: "that's a lie, you're making up lies.

Me: "it's in federal filings as well as in USA Today"

MU fan: "Well fine, but so what? Money doesn't matter."

MU fan: "look at all this SEC money! The network gonna make it rain! We gonna make more tha KU!"

ATLANTA, Ga., (August 5, 2014) – The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), the licensing affiliate of IMG College, announced today its annual list of top-selling institutions and manufacturers. These rankings represent royalties reported July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 on all collegiate merchandise sold on behalf of company-represented institutions.

The retail marketplace for college-licensed merchandise in 2013 was estimated at $4.59 billion. Royalties generated from the sale of officially licensed collegiate products go back to the Universities to support student scholarships, and enhance various initiatives on campus and in the community.

“We are proud to work side-by-side with our partner institutions to connect the more than 190 million passionate college fans to the brands they love through licensed merchandise,” said Cory Moss, Senior VP and Managing Director of CLC. “We will continue to develop new products and marketing programs to enhance the brands of our partner institutions as we work together to grow the collegiate licensed segment of the marketplace in conjunction with collegiate licensees and retailers.”

Notes of interest:
* This marked the ninth consecutive year The University of Texas at Austin ranked No. 1 in the
fiscal year-end rankings.

strong national championship licensing program, moving from No. 21 to No. 8.

* The University of Connecticut moved from No. 53 to No. 47 due in part to the success of its
basketball national championship licensing program.

:shrug: I don't see any Missouri fan saying those things. None of us are comparing with anyone lately in the thread. Most of it is just having fun with the predictions that the SEC network would flop.

Personally, I think seeing the SEC Network become one of the top cable sports networks before it is even on the air is exciting because of what the revenue boost and national TV exposure could do to help our football program grow. I don't care a lick about Kansas or the Big Howevermany anymore apart from idle smack.

If KU makes so much more money, you do have to wonder why it doesn't translate into a football team though.

Being the flagship of the local schools sure has it's benefits

Where does all that money go? Lower academic standards...crappy football program...blue chip basketball recruits :hmmm:

Unused plane tickets to Dallas.

Prove it. Not a single Mizzou fan said those numbers were a lie. In fact, you were so disappointed no one even commented when you posted it that you brought it up again to try to make the report relevant.


On the other hand, once the numbers were being discussed, there were multiple instances where you distorted the truth and turned a shoulder when they were presented to you in a matter that didn't fit your BS agenda or false point.

Certainly not to the stadium, you can see nicer high school stadiums in Texas.

Same with Allen Fieldhouse. They haven't spent money on that place in forever. Wonder what they're waiting for.

Mizzou 1 of 20 schools to get a jello jiggled mold made for their football team

MU fan has now been reduced to bragging about jello. I'm laughing, but honestly I think it's pathetic too.

It does seem like something only Bambi would brag about

LMAO

jello smaque

yeah I went there.... you jelly ROFL

"Nobody ever said that was a lie."


"But a little while later, we all said that was a lie."

How do you know that Missouri football has hit the big time?

Forget last season’s SEC East Division title.

Missouri is one of just 20 schools featured in a special Jell-O series.

Jell-O released special molds as part of a “Jigglers mold kit.” The Mizzou-Rah set has two Missouri mold trays (one is of the Tigers logo, the other spells MIZZOU) and four boxes of lemon-flavored gelatin.

The other schools featured are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Iowa, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, UCLA, USC and Wisconsin.

“We determined school choice by a combination of local retailer support and fan base to develop an optimal portfolio of universities across the country,” Hermés Risien, Jell-O Brand Assistant at Kraft Food (which makes Jell-O), told the Houston Chronicle.

Jell-O says the molds will be sold at grocery stores, but they also are available at amazon.com.
