Sounds like quite a few colleges have a deficit problem like Rutgers. The difference is Rutgers has a solution when they get a full share of the Big Ten money.

Can we agree that things spiraled out of control with college athletics? Since we expanded our stadium during the Schiano era have we had 44K in the stadium? I'm talking about actual people in the seats? I honestly don't think so and I believe that cost us 103 million.

THe amount people in the seats do not mean anything when talking $$, other then concessions. What matters is hoe many seats paid for.

i don't have facts, but i think we did several times each season until we started losing steam with the last coach.
i really feel like Ash will start to fill it up again in the next couple of years.
also, not sure if we make it into B1G without the stadium expansion.

Haven't they been talking about this for about a decade now?

Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska, Michigan State, I can probably go on.
