Actually, I didn't say anything like that. I don't care if you don't like me, but don't misquote me.

Yes, all of that is true. And when a dad buys tickets for the family, it's about a lot more than seeing any individual player.

Still no thoughts on a harmless disagreement between me and Bender. You have issues, my man. None of this stuff is serious enough to tell someone to fck off. See a therapist.

Yes, and replace the players and the same revenue stream will come in. Fans pay to see the brand, not individual players.

Again, can't address the topic. All about me. Can I send an autographed picture?

As is your assumption of athletic revenue = every player.

Tuition is the direct cost to take a class. You can't have the class without the professor. I'm beginning to think that you don't have intimate knowledge of the college environment.

18,000 faculty members for 13,000 students? Man, that is some elite one-on-one teaching going on. And tuition isn't $50,000 per semester. Might want to check your numbers.

You apparently don't realize how much a class costs and how many students a professor has. Compare that to the revenue brought in by a backup player, which is zero.

This is what I responded to, and it is incorrect. It is verifiable.

Nice counter-argument.

And that tuition money is many times more than the athletic revenue. It's just math. And your math is wrong. It happens.

Of course, you can't actually argue against what I wrote, so you make it personal. Maybe tell your buddy to write better next time.

Oh, bless your heart. Being more recognized doesn't mean you bring in more money.

Hold up, now you're talking about players making money for themselves. That's not what you said before. You said that the players make more money for the school than professors do. That, of course, isn't true. If you're going to argue a point, make sure that's actually what you said. Or just...

Absolutely. Dudes are going to get tired of ponying up big money for an 8-4 team, much less a 6-6 team. They didn't accumulate that much money by making poor financial decisions.

And just an FYI, the athletic department barely breaks even. They aren't "making money for the school". If anything, they are just self-sustaining. Kids aren't applying to Miami because of any athletic program right now.

Two different scenarios. I could turn it around and tell you to have football coaches teach graduate level classes. Either scenario is absurd. Except you were serious. Fans pay ticket money which goes to build better facilities and hire better coaches. Oh, athletics revenue is more than paying...

Take the math professor's enrollments and multiply it by the tuition paid for that class. Then do it for every professor. Meanwhile, you could only name one player who doesn't even play for us anymore. Tell me how much the backup punter is bringing in. If anything, he costs us money.

It's the exact same thing as you claiming that a 3rd string tight end on a 5-7 team is bringing in millions in ticket revenue. Without professors and deans, you have no classes, which means you lose $600 million in revenue. I'm not sure how you can seriously claim that the professors and deans...
