NLULM wants to avoid six home games in 2019

That is, without a doubt, the most pathetic thing I've ever seen in a long time. Why even bother?

Valid point.

Our AD did it covertly to build up personal brownie points with his peers for future use on his behalf...

The juco AD just thought he was doing the RIGHT thing - there in lies the rub...

Smh. :icon_roll:

At $400k to UNM what would you ball park profit (loss)?

Which is very hard to grasp -

Did Tech make money? If so, approximately how much?

We pay them less than what we would pay for teams outside the state because we should.

The ULXs would not agree to that

I doubt it due to the rare weather event that night - probably lost between $100k and $150k based on our NORMAL model for a home FCS that's not NWSt or Southern

But game guarantees are part of the business and its up to the manager (AD) to schedule a guarantee game that fits the business model

South Carolina State at $325k does NOT fit that business model for us

On his behalf or the Universities behalf? I assume you mean what you said.

UL can't afford a low grossing home game. Don't play at all versus losing money. The "do nothing" strategy. This makes great sense for them.

FCS Rotation
1. Southern
2. Northwestern State
3. Central Arkansas
4. Grambling
5. Stephen F. Austin
6. Lamar/Southeastern/McNeese/Nicholls/Sam Houston

Pay them the going rate for G5/FCS games. They can all bus. If you want to pay SU & GSU extra to bring the bands, fine.
If we have to pay NSU a little extra, fine.

Don't bring in SC State or Morgan State or Tennessee State.

Yeah, but that just means we shouldn't play them at all. That's good too.
