Title: Interesting Forbes Article on MU
Post by: dw3dw3dw3 on March 10, 2011, 11:14:09 AM
Can anyone explain how we generate $10 million from our other mens sports? Is this just a general merchandise bucket? 

Seems like we get a decent roi.

I would guess the other revenue is mostly Blue & Gold donations.

The implication would be $8.3M and that revenue certainly isn't coming from tennis, golf, cross country, soccer and track.  I have some thoughts but need to confirm a few things first.

It's interesting that the third most reliant school on basketball is Louisville, who has had a relatively good football program of recent years. Just goes to show that a football team here will always play second fiddle.

I suspect with the new Big East television contract in the works, that will change for Louisville.
