Check out most money earned for away games.

Kansas, most money spent on team travel? that will probably go down now that they don't have to feed Mangino.

Check out most money earned for away games.

Whoever negotiated the contracts for ULM's away games deserves some credit. Why play an Auburn for $500K when you can get $750K from Texas? Both numbers are nothing more than WAG's by me. My point is this, when scheduling a "money game", why not go to the highest bidder? Just good business.

To counter any EagerEagle posts, here is the ranking of the Top 50 highest percentages (of the 99 known amounts) of total operating revenues that came from student fees or a university subsidy.

About 40% is the figure that I have always thought should be the maximum that students or a state should directly support a university athletic program, and Tech continues to operate right at that 40% figure.

So we need to move out of the uls system and into a system in florida, ohio, michigan, or at least alabama.

how is ull so much higher than us and nlulmnop?

So we need to move out of the uls system and into a system in florida, ohio, michigan, or at least alabama.

how is ull so much higher than us and nlulmnop?

They have a lot more students.

But then again, ULM is higher than us and I thought we were a little bigger than them. Good question.

Didn't they manage to get approval to use student fees for general budget athletics, while we were unable to do so?

[RealityCheck]

Comparison of the ULS numbers...

Tech--$5,922,923 direct institutional support out of $14,686,982 total revenues...40.410%
ULM--$3,948,616 total ($3,596,017 direct institutional support + $352,599 student fees) out of $9,413,381 total revenues...41.947%
ULL--$6,066,824 direct institutional support out of $11,499,015 total revenues...52.760%

Shouldn't you guys send a copy of this stuff to the Governor's office?
