East Coast Aztec Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 1 minute ago, SleepingGiantsFan said: In all honesty, although I thought adding USU to the MWC was as stoopid as it gets, your school has been an asset to the conference. However, that said, your school is definitely one of the three among the conference with absolutely no chance of a promotion to a power conference. Unlike Wyoming (because of the microscopic population of its state), USU has a chance to change that but right now, that's a reality and from what I gather, you're on an island thinking otherwise. I think they show the same geographical and circumstantial constraints as us, but we have the edge in location and market. And we are currently doing well athletically and the two are comparable, all things considered, in academics right now. I like USU though, fans are good, and if the basketball can get back to playing decent, they could do well to raise the status of the basketball. I thought it was a good add, considering some of the other options on the table at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that as it may, your post is quite understandable. Meh...what's bullshit Dre is your pretending not to get the point when I know you do....but for the others that don't, the point is we're all doing the best we can to improve our institutions (academically and athletically) to best position ourselves if/when the next shake up happens..I know we certainly are on many fronts, as are SDSU, CSU, UNLV, Boise, UNM and really everyone else here (except maybe SJSU)....and I know advancing is the goal for all of us...but pretending that one of us is going to slot in alongside a USC, Stanford, Cal in a PAC that resembles it's current iteration is pure fantasy and a waste of time.

retrofade Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 8 minutes ago, East Coast Aztec said: While I find impressive that UH can draw as much as it does, and how it can derive income, how much do you think UH VB generates revenue, if you meant net income? And do you think that is the end of the conversation if it was? Or do you mean that it accumulates more revenue than a men's basketball program? Because I would venture WVB produces probably around 1.5-2M including tournaments and ticket sales at most. I am unsure how much your boosters give, so I am oblivious to that, if you have information to expand on that, that would be helpful. That would put WVB at about SJSU basketball, without their boosters, according to Equity in Sports database. This site has them at $2.2M in revenue, with $90k in profits.

AztecSU Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I don't know if there is a heaven, I just know that 3 or 4 MW schools should kick rocks and go their own way before they drown on the sinking ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that Quote The men's and women's Volleyball teams combined have 2 head coach(es), 5 assistant coach(es), and total revenues of $2,369,808, total expenses of $2,280,689 and profits of $89,119. Maybe I gave too much credit to WVB. SJSU BB made 2M, Monmouth, EMU both made 1.8M, LBSU at 2.4M for their basketball programs. Didn't bother typing in really successful programs. So, I will still say it is impressive, but if that is a true statement, then lulz at his premise of WVB having more revenue than most MBB teams.

Good point, I forgot to qualify that it was both programs that made $2.2M. I couldn't find a breakdown of Men's vs. Women's Volleyball for Hawai'i anywhere.

I couldn't find a breakdown of Men's vs. Women's Volleyball for Hawai'i anywhere. I used their attendance of 6800, noticed their season tix start at 130, used a liberal estimate that accounted for the baller seats and cheaper student seats and said the mean price of a season ticket and single game accumulation would be $220 per seat, giving them around 1.5, then gave them $500k for tournaments and positive buffer space to max them at 2M. If it is in the middle of that range, even Samford basketball makes more. All of this is without boosters, so maybe Daddy Warbow is given Annie all that extra cash, otherwise, it's a tough thing for me to reconcile in favor of dpc. With no offense to their volleyball team, as he said, it is one of the most supported in the nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the fact that the MWC was going to let SDSU die on the vine, and that Boise was the reason a rope was thrown when the ship sunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
