Football Revenue

[SpanishMoon]

Does anyone know what is UNI's total yearly football revenue # and how it does compare to other schools in the conference?

Re: Football Revenue

I would like to know how much money UNI gets from all the high school games being played in the dome. IMO that money should go to the athletic department if it isn't already. They should also charge more for these games to help out the athletic dept. The free lunch is over.

That's interesting. While we might be complaining that the IHSAA should be paying more to UNI, the schools are crying that more should be going to the participating schools.

Re: Football Revenue

That "free lunch" is one of the best passive recruiting tools we possess. You bring a kid in to play in the Dome in the playoffs, and he looks around and sees the banners and accolades acquired by UNI football, and you've just planted a seed in his head about what it would be like to don the purple and the gold and play in the Dome for the next four years as part of a football tradition. Some things are worth more than money.

Re: Football Revenue

Adding a $1 that goes to the UNI athletic dept. isn't going to kill anybody.

UNI needs the money badly at this point. I doubt it is going to keep anybody from going.

UNI needs to maximize revenue, warm fuzzies don't fund scholarships.

No kid is going to pick UNI over Iowa or ISU if they are offered a free ride. They could serve steak at the UNI Dome and it wouldn't matter.

Re: Football Revenue

The IHSAA has been a good partner, and paid for a significant chunk of the new video screen I believe.

Do we charge for parking at the football playoffs? I think they charge at Wells Fargo for basketball, and at US Cellular for Volleyball.

Re: Football Revenue

IMO the IHSAA should be donating one fully funded scholarship to UNI on top of whatever they are doing now.

Re: Football Revenue

What about CF HS games? Do we get anything out of that?

There is a charge for parking, but I do not know if it is a UNI fee or the state enforces it.


As for the CF games I know the rent the building, but I don't know how for how much.

I think this is okay because you capitalized "You're". It shows respect.

I've heard Farley say essentially the same thing on the radio. Is he an idiot?

Re: Football Revenue

Talk about seperation from reality, if you think UNI is going to become a destination for athletes above and beyond Iowa/ISU for football or basketball.

Re: Football Revenue

IMO I don't think the athletic department should be focusing on ways to generate a few extra thousand dollars. Being "Penny wise and dollar foolish" is not a good strategy.

Private funds are the only way UNI will become self sufficient. Spending any significant time and energy on other outlets will only spread our staff and resources thin.
