Quote from: Elonsmusk on Today at 02:52:20 PMSoo...unless Marquette can compete with $20M payrolls at Kentucky, and $400 Million Dollar donations to its athletic department, maybe it's possible the RGV model is really our only way to compete going forward? 

You call this competing?

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 02:09:50 PMThe Cardinals were 15th in revenue in 2024, dead center of the 30 teams.  If the Dodgers reinvested, say, 47.4% of their revenue back into their payroll (which is what the Twins, at 15th in Payroll/Revenue, "reinvest"), the Cardinals would have to reinvest 95.6% of it's revenue to have the same payroll.

Or, put another way, if the Cardinals reinvested the same 73% of their revenue that the Dodgers do, their payroll would still have been $276.7MM behind the Dodgers' 2025 payroll.

Nothing wrong with the system at all.

Per Forbes, the Dodgers operating income was $21 million in 2024, good for 13th in MLB.
You know who made more?
The Brewers at $24 million.
Reds, $29 million
Tigers, $30 million
Rays, $32 million
Marlins, $38 million
Pirates, $47 million

When small market teams stop raking in profits that exceed those of the world champs, I'll take their cries of poor more seriously. Most of these teams receive far more via revenue sharing than they invest in payroll.
I'm not opposed to additional revenue sharing, but some of these teams aren't using the revenue they already get on payroll. What makes you think that would change with more?
MLB should be more interested in getting the frugal teams to spend more than putting restrictions on the big spenders.

As for the Cardinals, maybe they need to put a better product on the field. Their yearly attendance has dropped by more than a million over the past decade while their payroll has remained largely stagnant. Perhaps there's a correlation?

Signing with LA for only $3M more, I think Edwin just wanted to leave.

Not impressed.

A $400M gift to the HBCUs would impress me.
