This is the best thing ever. The spelling, the grammar, the content of the post, all of it, the best.quote:I just wanted to statrt a new thread where every time a good up and coming white player emerges he is always compared to a black player. Why wosent Jerry Rice called a black Lance Alsworth? I know Philly wr Riley Cooper is new but I think we should start calling black players named after talent white lpayers so Houstons wr Andre Johnson is a poor mans Riley Cooper. Cooper is the same size but has elite speed and Johnson in a fair world couldint hold a candle to him. In a fair world Patrick Willis couldn't hold a candle to Rocky Boiman. Jon Beason is the poor mans Chase Blackburn.

Here's a quick one from AL.com, about Chizik getting a raise. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/06/auburn_gives_gene_chizik_raise/3510/comments-6.html Anonymous posted:Is that all you all have to say? Really, could you all be this drat-country? You are talking about stats when our public school teachers are being fired left-and-right? Do you not find it obscene that a coach, who is supposed to love football anyway, is paid 10 times the amount our educators make? You all do remember that Auburn and Alabama are learning institutions, right? How daft are we that support goes behind a whistleblower when our schools are the laughing-stock of the nation. They make a good point, but if you're supposed to be anonymous, why would you give your full name?

One of the things I learned in college is that most college's athletic departments run at a net loss, so the school has to take money out of its operating budget (the thing that pays teachers) to bail them out. Now according to this, Auburn's athletic department ran at a net profit of $2 million for '09-'10, but that's not exactly a margin I'd like to rely on, and the amount of education the university could buy for that much is probably not a whole hell of a lot.

Off Topic as gently caress, but most college athletic programs run at a loss to support the sports without much public interest. Some may scream, 'Women's Sports!', but nobody goes to see loving Men's Golf or Swimming, which we're pretty dang good at  , either. A lot of the money made by something like the football team is made by the massive amount of 'tourism' revenue that is made on gameday by the town, and outside money coming into the local economy.This isn't in defense of Auburn, it's the same with Alabama, Tennessee, any school that brings in a shitload of people for gameday, and with those people, a shitload of money that would not otherwise be there. Motels, restaurants, bars, antique stores, all those businesses depend on the fat old white people that trot down to sweat and pay for parking every loving weekend from September to November. At least that's what I think. Though, I was educated by Alabama public schools from 1990-98, and an even worse private Christian school after that, so I don't think a whole hell of a lot. We are adding more student parking though! War Eagle.

Probably $0. $90 million barely registers on a budget to a major university. Penn State had total operating revenue of $107m and expenses of $88m in 2009-2010. So athletics generated $19m. $21m were to pay salaries of all the athletic department. In 2010-2011 (I can't find last year's budget), PSU spent $4.06 billion on everything else. The university took in $4.3b. $266m were on professors salaries. Athletics doesn't even appear on the budget. One of the biggest dogs in the game, with one of the biggest stadiums on Earth, with a marketable brand, and legion upon legion of loyal fans doesn't bring in half the money they pay out to the education staff.

this is from thesabre.com's bball message board, we were talking about the 2003 ACC expansion for football:quote:Any reasonable analysis of the situation at the time and in retrospect  Yeah, lets just overlook the then national powerhouse that averaged 10 wins over 20 years and was in NINE national championship games. Lets not try to set up two football divisions with two of the three most dominant football programs of the 80s and 90s. Instead lets take the backwater school with one MNC appearance, ever, and not add a championship game.

Just couldn't resist this one. This is a comment on an article about USC's forfeited national championship and how some Auburn fans want to claim it. An Alabama fan posted:I understand how it works. You people want to claim something you didn't even play for. That's what I understand. You don't understand that when a victory is forfeited the other side wins. Aubarn was determined not worthy to play in that championship game therefore you didn't. Nothing changes about that. Oklahoma won that game by forfeit but they don't claim the championship but aubarn does. What class.

I just hated the professors, and I don't imagine I'm the only one who had them, who basically went off on a spiel during class about how much the football coach made and how it was a total disgrace to the university. Nevermind that enrollment was in a freefall and the 1st President of the college plagiarized to get his job and the next one was a close friend of Rod Blagojevitch, it was the Basketball program and the tier-2 football program that was to blame! Like it seemed like they had a personal vendetta against sports and couldn't believe that not everyone else hated them like they did. I also had really cool professors who liked sports and my parents are both professors and they like them too, but wasting class time and students money to spend half the class bitching that you aren't paid enough really rubbed me the wrong way.

Most athletic departments lose money, so he did kind of have a point. Only the biggest ones are profitable, and then they're massively profitable. Athletics should be separate from the academy anyhow but somehow we managed to gently caress that one up.

I remember reading somewhere that just out of the D1 schools, more than 3/4ths of them LOSE money on athletics. Not to mention that even in the smaller schools, the average salary of, say, a football coach is many times over that of a professor. Teachers (and Nurses, for that matter) really get the poo poo end of the stick when payday comes. HeroOfTheRevolution posted:Most athletic departments lose money, so he did kind of have a point.

Yeah, there was some article at the beginning of all this lock out stuff that came out about how Josh Freeman was holding practices with a few of the guys on the Bucs. Faine came out saying how he was doing it wrong and wouldn't participate and would rather practice with a guy like Brees. The aforementioned poster was all over it and saying Faine was completely right and blah blah blah.

I don't see how you guys can get through caste football. I thought it was some elaborate troll until I started reading it because of some joke in a thread last year. But it's too horribly racist for me to even find it amusing - it falls more into the 'sickening' category. Detergent posted:Leans closer to your 2nd option, but Roger Craig.
