WOW. How can basketball turn more profit than Baseball?
Because its a lot more expensive to field a baseball team than it is to field a basketball team for one

LSU makes solid money on meets but not enough meets to cover all of it
Nope. Assuming all $2.37m of Gymnastics’ expenses were fixed costs (they’re not), it would take 8.7 more home meets just to break even.

TV money. Plus, nationally, nobody really gives a crap about college baseball.

The CBS March Madness contract gives money to every school that plays basketball, not just the teams that make the field of 68.

Gymnastics is a major money loser for LSUAD. The Advocate reported last Spring that we lost over $2 million on Gymnastics.
Think about it: the things that make $$$ for SEC teams (and LSU) are TV contracts, tradition fund type fees, and ticket sales. Gymnastics makes very little revenue from any of those things. Note: Gym tickets are cheap.
i always bring up the other sports when people talk about paying college football players. there are only a couple dozen profitable college football teams and all the other sports have to get the same deal.
bullshite, but w/e.

Gymnist are true student athletes. They have the highest GPA of any group of athletes and highest graduation rate.
