[email protected] magnanimous of you, rose, sending out that hopeful note of new CFB thread unity:
The point is? The NCAA funded basketball to the tune of 42.5 million and earned 862 million? Nice return on investment in most places.In 2019 the NCAA paid $28 million in expenses for the Men's Basketball tournament, made $864.8 Million.
In 2019 the NCAA paid 14.5 million in expenses for the Women's Basketball tournament, lost $2.3 Million.
Do similar stats exist for FB?
Of course they do. With the exception(s) of CFB, depending on the universities (CBB.), & absolute outlier (College Baseball. Read LSU & I think that’s about it.), all other NCAA sports turn a deficit.In 2019 the NCAA paid $28 million in expenses for the Men's Basketball tournament, made $864.8 Million.

Your response is disappointing! rather than praise the players & coach for doing as well as the team did youThe joy of choking still an apt title for ‘Bama hoops, rose—1-8 in Sweet Sixteen appearances in the Dance, and that win was almost accidental. Sorry, Jacob, won’t hijack your CFB thread with any more frippery and meaningless futility—

Marvin, Don't be so hard on MG. You think he has no knowledge or recollection of Lucius, Henry, Sydney, Jamaal(you hated his shot didn't you), Bill, Lew? You think he doesn't know the 88 was bookended by Austin Carr(40 something) and Shumate(25ish on hurt back Walton)? We were there too!Your response is disappointing! rather than praise the players & coach for doing as well as the team did you
choose to castigate them. You lost to a team from a school more storied in the BB world than you can ever
imagine your FB team will ever be. They get players because of that that in your wildest imagination would
never consider going to AL.
Basketball is a game that requires more intelligence than FB, so it is much harder to put together a winning
combination. I would welcome your coach to the PAC-12 anytime, he would make the conference much more
competitive.
In his SECOND season as head coach with mostly players he didnt recruit, it was an amazing season. Players and athletes will come to Bama now due to the wide open offense. This is just the beginning for Coach Oates teams.The joy of choking still an apt title for ‘Bama hoops, rose—1-8 in Sweet Sixteen appearances in the Dance, and that win was almost accidental.

If Marv can quote us Sven Nader’s basketball IQ for the high post offense, I just might agree with you—In his SECOND season as head coach with mostly players he didnt recruit, it was an amazing season. Players and athletes will come to Bama now due to the wide open offense. This is just the beginning for Coach Oats’ teams.
