me too, called my mom from the middle of the field after drinking all my purse bourbon. left a voicemail talking about how i have grass from lane stadium in my shoes and how i'll never take them off ever again.
Sounds to me like that's a pretty efficient non-profit organization actually. Many, many, many other non-profits have much worse margins than 96%. Only 4% of income goes towards non-athletic expenses? I'm surprised shocked it's that low.
There are tons of non-profit organizations where the top executives earn a large salary. That's often necessary to keep top talent in the organization.
Is the NCAA about making money? Yes.
Is it a for-profit organization? No, because all it's excess revenue goes back to it's member's schools (the majority of the schools are non-profit also!). It is, by every definition in the book, a non-profit organization.
I think this has to be the biggest win in program history.
The talent that was on Miami was insane. That team had Sean Taylor, Vince Wilfork, Kellen Winslow, Jonathan Vilma, Frank Gore, DJ Williams, Devin Hester, Antrel Rolle, and Eric Winston just to name a few.
I WAS THERE!!!!!
that tunnel video is fuckin awesome. i wanna go punch somebody.
And the other 4% (not that I necessarily trust the numbers the NCAA puts out about its own revenue usage), that's definitely not profit that goes to fill the pockets of executives. Except it is: http://chronicle.com/article/Pay-for-Top-14-NCAA-Executives/124358/ And those are old numbers. The point is, no matter how much the NCAA wants to pretend otherwise, it IS about making money, since it's not government owned, that's capitalism.
I thank him for giving us O Brother Where Art Thou in 5 mins
I almost jumped up and bounced around chanting "I WILL I WILL" here in my cube.
Well see him in 2014 and 2015 when we play the Buckeyes.
I don't miss Trev Alberts. At all.
ricardo young might be their qb heading into lane, that should be interesting.
does anyone know if our game with them that was gonna be in m&t bank stadium in 2014 is still on?
This has all the makings of one of those riptide events that no one sees coming, or realizes the implications of, until it happens and the changes start shaking out like walnuts out of a tree in a storm. This has the potential to be the biggest change in college football in our lifetimes.
i've been saying for years, BRING BACK BUBBA SPARX GAMEDAY!!

He said, "Give it to me Roscoe! Give it to me!" Bill Roth 8^)
if you don't think that's a capitalist enterprise, you're

96% of all NCAA revenue is given back to schools or used for other programs (like tournaments and championships) which directly benefit student athletes.
A non-profit is defined by what an org. does with it's money, not how much money it makes.
While this was happening on the field:
This was happening in the tunnels:
Plus, that game gave us this.
I think both of you are right in different ways. You're just debating about different things: technicalities and PR vs. reality and public perception. That's what I'm gathering at least.
