If the team wins, fans will pack any shitty arena. There’s no need to engage in a facilities race. Even if we win that, it’s temporary, and we’ll fall behind in a few years. It’s a fool’s errand. Just put a winning team on the floor, and the fans will come.
This. I think the Maravich is an eye sore. But if you just tweak seating and improve lighting (which they have already fixed some) it will be fine. Shows much better on TV than it used to.
Hopefully we get a crazy crowd in one of the women’s games

The scoreboard is awesome.

One BILLION PERCENT correct on your post. These Jethro's on here either don't want to admit, or just as likely can't comprehend the difference between a revenue producing sport and a non revenue producing one.
They really love to hear THE FACT that if all college sports had to sink or swim on their own financially, football and men's basketball would be the only two in existence.
Now for the especially slow rantards, yes there are baseball programs that make money like LSU, and lesbian basketball programs that make money like UConn. But there are not nearly enough operating in the black to sustain competition nationally.
As you posted, LSU basketball has in the past, and would again in the future make A MINT if we just invested properly in it. LSU is treating it now like Jerrah Jones refusing to sign a soda deal with Pepsi or any other soft drink brand. Or not selling the naming rights to the stadium the cowgirls play in. Why would you neglect potentially lucrative revenue sources?

I understand that you are smarter than the rest of us so can you link me to a source that says UConn Women’s basketball turns a profit.
Thxs in advance.

Women's basketball? Yes, it does. Men's bball in a losing season like thus one makes more than baseball on a natty run.

What’s in the basement of the PMAC nowdays?

Here are the real basketball numbers from the LSU audit to the NCAA over the last five years. They do not breakout baseball.
Fiscal Year...........MBB P/L............WBB losses
7/1/21-6/30/22 $1,675,105.00. -$6,550,040.00
7/1/20-6/30/21 $-149,42/.00. -$4,217,883.00
7/1/19-6/30/20. -$496,919.00. -$4,348,191.00
7/1/18-6/30/19 $453,022.00. -$4,046,955.00
7/1/17-6/30/18. $292,921.00. -$4,221,675.00
If someone has the real baseball numbers, please share.

An accurate description?? I would say it's necessary.

If I'm incorrect about UConn making a profit in that meaningless sport, it FURTHER reinforces my argument, Einstein.
I've always been under the assumption that UConn, Tennessee S Carolina, Stanford, etc... turned a profit in the gal's game. Because political pressure forces them to pay their head coaches exorbitant salaries (see Nicky Fargas for a PRIME example), maybe none of them turn a profit. Who knows? Who cares?
The non revenue sports should not be carried by football and men's basketball. If the sports are as great as people say, they'd be able to survive with their own revenue streams.

Your assumptions are incorrect.

You say that, but college athletics began as just a part of the college experience. Athletics wasn’t invented to make money.
The addition of TV changed everything.

Once again it's a ONE BILLION PERCENT fact I was wrong stating UConn turns a profit in lesbian basketball.
It still STRENGTHENS my argument about carrying your own weight. The fact remains that if each sport was forced to sink or swim on their own financially, football and men's basketball would be the only two sports played on a national level.
We used to travel by rail to get from the east coast to the west coast. Now we travel by airplane. Yes, before electricity, sports were played as an extracurricular on college campuses. That genie is out of the bottle, and ain't getting back in.
I'm all for the sports that can't financially sustain play nationally to be relegated to club or intramural status on campus. After all, that was the original intention of college athletics, right?

Yes, that is how it all originally started out.
I do believe the kids shouldn’t be punished. Give out scholarships as always, but why pay head coaches, assistant coaches and administrators hundreds of thousands of dollars in sports that lose millions?
That’s what’s happened. Coaches, and administrators have made a lot if money because football is so successful.

Nothing wrong with PMAC….
“Pete’s House”. Leave it alone
Don’t like it… stay home.

Are you kidding? Arkansas has one of the best facilities in the world. It’s decades, centuries ahead of LSU but it’s ahead of just about everyone in the country.

It's not Pete's house. He has no allegiance to it.
