Can we put any of that in the bank, with us being all charity-fied and all? I'd like to do see us put a big chunk away if possible, the gift that keeps on giving.

Does anybody else think about how that $$$ is spent?

Seems like the money is just poured into new facilities and improving facilities, and it's an arms race on who can have the best football, baseball, basketball, softball, soccer, tennis facilities, etc. Considering the money is going to a public institution, seems like some of that funding could go to more pressing needs instead of athletics.

What happens to it is exactly what you would expect to happen to it. The member institutions spend more and more money chasing a pot of money that doesn't expand at the same rate.

That is why I asked the question above. I wish we could find ways to channel this money into some type of fund/entity that will help it grow for us. Since it's 501C or whatever the tax free designation is, I think they do have to allot it all somehow. I wish we could put it in some type of stadium trust and use the interest to maintain facilities.

Where are these pressing needs? Last time I checked, we have nearly half a billion endowed and are growing at the 2nd best rate in conference over the last 10-15 years. Hate to be the bearer of bad news -- but we've got another $150-200mil that needs spent on athletics -- just on facilities that eventually turn us a profit.

Any statement like this needs to be addressed to the overall of college athletics. It's crazy to imply that the poorest team in the league should do this while everyone else reinvests in being richer.

WOW! Almost doubling in between 2013 and 2016.

I'm no financial expert, but in my experience any amount of money that seems huge gets much smaller when you see the level by level breakdown of how it is spent. Everybody needs to get paid.

 

[Philly Dawg]

The SEC Network was a huge boon to the conference.
