MEGA Conference Realignment and lawsuits Megathread: Stories, Tales, Lies, and Exaggerations

@Brains you were right about requiring a minimum IQ to post here.

@No_Fly_Zone @JD08
Y’all can let him out of purgatory whenever you deem appropriate. Does anyone who is a regular in this thread - TOC, ispyin , Rick’d… etc., in the mega conference thread want him in this thread or out of it when he returns?
dont you put that evil on me GIF
 
So obnoxious watching dudes flop for the foul D'd up and going nowhere near the baseline. It's about the most obnoxious "modern NBA" BS **** I see way too often.
 
Come on now @RVACane bring back @cookies from purgatory, why should the rest of us have to suffer?

It was a perfectly appropriate discussion for this thread, especially considering the penultimate @No_Fly_Zone post. I need my entertainment.
I let him out like two hours ago. The Maudes would let him rot in there. If he behaves he’s fine. If he starts trouble I’ll do what I do. I still cant believe what I was reading. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I lived in the DMV for many years, plus in central and southeastern Virginia. I don’t remember Rutgers being a Maryland rival. It was always Maryland and Virginia that were rivals, particularly in basketball.
The schools biggest rival might actually be Johns Hopkins. It's a smaller audience obviously, people down there take that one very seriously. That is the Lacrosse version of Auburn vs Alabama
 
And, correct me if I'm wrong, but FY 2025 would have been the 2024-2025 academic year.

Meaning, our "CFP bump" in revenue isn't even a part of this equation until FY 2026. Right?

That’s my question as well. Miami has never been, that I know of, in the top 10 of yearly revenue, or even very near to top 10, and that number quoted puts us very close to the top 10, which is why I was thinking that it DID include the CFP bump. But maybe not. I would love to know.

Usually FY 2025 would be July 1 24 - June 30 25. Can’t imagine we’d do it differently than the rest of universities

We always just match our accounted revenue to expenses. So I’d think if they’re saying we use Hospital revenue to inject cash into AD, that would be reflected here right. And obviously with house settlement increasing expenses by $20m for the rev share by school wed increase revs to show for that….
 
I can’t even take ONE FRIGGEN DAY for Mother’s Day / my anniversary without missing all the good stuff. ****’s bells.












Did we join the Big 12 yet?

UM's fiscal year begins June 1 and ends May 31.

I can't believe I didn't think of it, but you have to make your HC contribution (and pay for your season tix) by 5/31.

guess it makes sense since graduation date is May for us, and many schools especially public ones are in June since they’re on quarter system…

so the season tix/donations are all pulled forward. Kinda bs accounting cause you don’t have to account for costs/rev in future. So we are pulling forward rev from following football season, but there is never a real “cost” in this type of rev accounting since we always do it. Like we are assuredly never pulling forward the expected cost of tuition we are covering for the upcoming season lol.

2024 we had $182M in rev reported I believe Now this is saying $230M for 2025. $50M increase…

The ACCs Success Initiative which was uneven payout went into effect for this FY2025 pretty sure. So I’d assume we probably received a slightly more than avg at least for the 2024 season results at least due to tv views, even without cfp. So maybe $5-$10M more in FY25 than FY24? Obviously FY26 we are set to make substantially more for this success initiative.

Also in 25 vs 24 The House Settlement should be in effect so that’s the $20M In more costs from NIL directly paid from the school… which means we need a $20M rev to offset that. And we know we were putting some Uhealth money towards AD. So I can see this+ACC Distribution at least accounting for $25-30M of the $50M difference from 2024… so maybe we had actual real rev growth of $25M? Seems like that’d be a lot but idk. Surely season ticket sales were stronger entering 25 than entering 24, which was WAY stronger than 23…so maybe

Who else is on a quarter system? I know UCLA is? Is it all the UC schools? USC? Also the whole South is on a similar schedule with the getting out in May thing. Many schools also had graduations over the past two weeks around here. I know NE schools tend to go until June, but I have no idea about Midwest.
