Yesterday at 04:40 PM1 day Moderator For instance, they have invested a significant amount in Lincoln Riley and the football program. Now, they need to be careful with NIL expenditures and success on the field.Reports also suggest that the university’s football is getting more financial resources as compared to women’s basketball, which has been a high-profile program the recent years.
Yesterday at 05:05 PM1 day Moderator The football program that pays for the non-revenue sports is getting the most money? Shocking!Oklahoma has laid off athletic department employees. This will likely be the norm and not the exception.

2 hours ago2 hr My question or inquiry is what are the operating costs/revenue if you just have football on the ledger. I know travel expenses are huge. But USC runs just about every Olympic sport. I read an article saying programs may end conference affiliation outside of the big three sports to cut costs. Hockey is run completely different as B1G isn't really a thing. Michigan, Minnesota, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State , and Wisconsin are in a league with Notre Dame for hockey. Florida plays in a subdivision non scholarship league.
