now they drop football and try to fully fund all of the intercolliegate sports at etsu. they take the million football was losing and spread it out among the other sports and an additional 500k to help all become fully funded over time. so in summary, instead of fully funding 1 sport (football) and overall losing 1 million, they spend an additional 500K and FULLY fund ALL the sports, build some on campus facilities, pay coaches and staff better salaries, and to try to help the overall student athlete experience at etsu. I have no problems with that.

.

How?? How did they go from losing a million dollars to be able to spending 500k more the next year without football? Does that mean
they lost 1.5 million that year? That is the math that doesn't add up.
How can they "take" the money they were losing and add more? Makes no sense.

the million they were losing had to be subsided from the other sports as part of the fixed budget. try this...

i have $100 to buy groceries (my budget) for a party.

i buy: steaks $75, potatoes $10, chips $10, dips $5, drinks $10. total $110

oh man...i dont have enuff money, all this subpar food and i still dont have any entertainment.

steaks are expensive, i will eliminate the steaks, and substitute chicken for $50. i will spread the money i saved to enhance my party.

now i can have chicken $50, better potatoes $12, better chips $12, better dips $6, better drinks $15 AND a nasty stripper $5...total $100

the party was a success, however, there were complaints about my dips and the nasty stripper. i should get a cost of living increase to my wage later this year, i think i will increase my budget for next years party by 10% to get a better stripper. total $110

key:
steak = football, bball, baseball
chicken = bball, baseball, soccer
potatoes = softball, golf, volleyball
dips = track
drinks = facilities, wages, student-athlete recruit/retainment
stripper = tennis

im trying rod...its not that difficult to understand.

What happened to chicken basketball? Was it taken to that next level as promised? Where's the new chicken basketball arena? Where's the better chicken basketball conference we were supposed to be in by now? Looks like your redistribution of wealth formula burned up on the grill.
