Not good news to be out there for VCU.

Losing 3 million a year when you are winning? I can't imagine that being true, maybe it doesn't account for NCAA tourney money and TV money? That stuff should be factored in.

I'd be interested to see how profitable BE teams are but I doubt that info is public.

Anyway that is not a very good stat for VCU, especially because I'm assuming state funding is limited in VA just like everywhere else.

Shaka makes over a million alone. Worth it, but that is a big chunk of the expenditures.

C7 Schools spent like 6 to 10 million per year. Georgetown and Marquette ~10, everyone else 6 or 7. All accounted that they broke even or made a little profit, except Marquette that cleared over $4M with their attendance. That was on ~$1.5M old TV rev. Now TV rev will be $4 to $5M per school. Big East programs should be in very good shape with the FOX deal.

Well there you go. Thanks!

10 of twelve schools with no football permits the Big East to add 2 schools with football. If you pass on UCONN or Memphis etc. because they have football, that is ridiculous. Every rule has an exception. Butler and Catholic only, Omaha and not being out in BUFU.

Remember that the original Big East had only 2 football schools and 6 non-football schools. Even letting in 2 proved to be a slippery slope. Each concession to them only led to requests/demands for more concessions. Nothing was ever enough.

Actually 3 of the first 8

Bill Marsh is right, there were only 2 football schools of the first 8 --> BC and Syracuse. Pitt arrived in '83. UConn was still Div 2 til '03 or sometime near then.

Please stop asking for UConn to join. Football is like crack. We need to stay away from them. Absolutely no football teams. No Cincy, no Memphis, no UMass... (Amen...)

(Non footballers were PC, The Hall, GU, VU, St John's and Connecticut.)

Also remember-- at the critical time last November, when Louisville announced it was going and Tulane was invited, there was a short period where all 15 of us needed to catch our breath and show some solidarity and strong bonding, no matter how tenuous it may have been...

At that point, UConn president Susan Herbst openly, daily, shouted/begged from the mountaintops that she wanted an ACC invitation... she didn't try to hide it... then Cincinnati was found to have emailed the ACC a powerpoint presentation begging for an invitation... crackhead behavior by both schools... peeing on our legs while they demand more concessions to football... "you invite these new schools without resistance, and shut up while your doing it; meanwhile we're going to openly walk out the front door, urinate on the front walk, kick the dog, and never associate with you again..." "oh, wait, the ACC doesn't want us... give us back the house key that we dropped in the diaper genie, we're staying after all... and don't forget to move your shit back up to the attic, you basketball-only parasites... oh yeah, and get me my crack pipe" --> that's basically what Herbst said to us, and that's the point where the C-7 realized that it needed to split... NO FOOTBALL...!

Give me Creighton, Butler and Xavier every day of the week. Absolutely no football.

This is gold. Pure gold.

So Susan openly stated her intentions. Meanwhile, the leaders of Cuse, Pitt, and WVU talked about solidarity while behind the scenes they conspired and stabbed each other in the back.

Yeah, that Susan is a real witch.

Well boys, you are wrong again. Nova was a Football school when they joined in 1980. Just ask Howie Long.

Nova dropped football in 1981. They brought it back at the lower 1AA level in 1984.

Add UConn.
