Nine coaching positions filled- 5 openings left

I didn't realize the best part of the Rutgers football job was that you can take in a Broadway play every Sunday.... These guys work 18 hour days and sleep in their offices.

Big untapped recruiting market there on Broadway...

The elementary and secondary school quality in university towns is generally better than a state as a whole. And with a salary of a couple of million dollars per year, a coaches kids can easily go to the best school they can get admitted to.

What you left out, and was cited a few posts above yours, is the lack of university, alumni (financially), legislative, fan and media support for the team they coach. Those are important considerations as well.

There are lots of downsides, as have been pointed out ad infinitum. I was pointing out the positive aspects.

You think our ticket sales went from $10MM to $20MM? I can't see it. That would mean we generate similar revenue from ticket sales as USCe and their stadium seats 80,000+

I looked it up. I'm surprised, it went down a bit in'14 though I think that's when we had six home games. '15 projection was 12.5. Really thought the numbers would be higher

I am confused. I am admittedly showing just the two numbers that pretty much are directly in the fan base control. How much we are willing to pay for tickets and how much we donate. By those two metrics we trail schools like Missou and USCe by a significant margin. Is your point that USCe's "expenses" to generate the additional $11MM in ticket sales annually and $22MM in athletic donations annually are materially offset by the expenses it takes to generate that additional revenue? How much more do you think it costs to raise that $33MM annual difference? $2MM? $5MM?$10MM?

I still believe the intent of my point stands.

To make this simple, your "point" was "We operate with $26MM/year less ..."

You have cited nothing which actually shows this. What is Missouri's football budget? What is Rutgers'? The figures you cited are only partially and indirectly correlated to your "point."

I guess I am missing your point. We certainly do operate with $26MM/year+ less than those schools using those metrics.

If there are two businesses in the same industry and one has $51MM/year in revenue and the other has $18MM/year in revenue than business A has $33MM/year "more to operate with", no? Now business A may use that extra $33MM/year to hire a better and more expensive CEO, may have better and nicer offices,may spend a s--t ton of that money on marketing or hiring, may even piss it away, but it makes it no less true that Business A has $33MM/year more with which to operate.
