Here is a realistic no bs PLAN. If you have another or one different- share it.

[DawgNsuds]

unpopular take, but the fact that we are even having this conversation is absurd in my opinion. that we are arguing about how to squeeze every last penny out of a sport that used to be an amateur competition is troubling. As some have said, we will not be able to compete financially with the Texas and Texas A&M's of the world unless Jeff Bezos decides he likes ringing a cowbell. The math just doesn't math.

 

[bulldoghair]

There was no revenue sharing when he got there. And our coach has plenty of resources to succeed. He couldn’t even spend what we gave him this year. I doubt Indianas facilities are materially any better than ours but I also think facilities are a relic of recruiting. And they had like 5k at his first game. We need money but we also aren’t gonna money our way to success. Indiana didn’t either

Well they do now. Lebby had resources, but not the same runway Indiana built. As I pointed out earlier, they were ready, they prepared for the rev sharing opportunity in advance.
Their financial runway was built to bring in portal talent quickly and support a good coach properly. Yes, coaching matters- a lot. But Indiana didn’t turn it around with “just coaching.” They made a massive, sustained investments and were proactive beforehand in doing so. They had the runway and plan ready to go. We have neither. We’re high jacked internally by good ol boys.

 

[8dog]

but he turned it around before Rev share. And once you win like that you never have to ask for a dime. Money just rolls in. Thats exactly what I said- hire a good coach and the rest takes care of itself. Like I said we can’t even spend the money we have. Lebby had 7 figures to get a DC and hired. ST coach. This is not about money with us or when Indiana turned things around in 2024 with his 30th ranked portal class

Hire a good coach and you will never have to make a fundraising phone call again. That goes way further than Anything you can get from other programs. Agree to disagree

 

[L4Dawg]

I mean, you can’t cut anything. The second that MSU cuts any sport with out another presumably even less profitable one taking its place…..we officially become an FCS school.

You don't cut them out. You quit giving them large amounts of money, one in particular.

 

[L4Dawg]

I like football and have season tickets.
I like basketball and attend a game or two every season.
I LOVE baseball and have chairback season tickets. If baseball did not have a "house note", it would be a big-time money maker. It made money hand over foot back in Polk's heyday.

You need to check your facts. My understanding is baseball has never made money. It has at best broke even.

 

[Anon2444666666]

When we open the season 1-5, you go after Mullen (or some other ******* that won't put up with chicken little ********) hard. He's the ******* we need right now to right the ship and put confidence back in the AD and football team. Then folks will start giving. Not happening today.

Here is a realistic, no bs plan of what Mississippi State athletic department could do to be the absolute best it could be under current 2025-26 revenue sharing and NIL rules.

The House settlement allows schools to share up to $20.5 million per year directly with athletes across all sports. There is no strict legal percentage cap per sport- the $20.5M is a school wide total.

In practice, most Power 4 schools allocate 70-85%+ of the pool to football and men’s basketball.

For us, $16.4 million would be 80% of the $20.5M pool.
This would be aggressive but doable. Top programs like Texas, Georgia, and Ohio State are already in the $15–18M range for football.

We need to drastically cut spending on non revenue sports- baseball, women’s basketball, tennis, soccer, track, golf, etc.
Current non revenue spending combined is $25–30 million per year- including the large deficits in baseball and women’s basketball.

Being aggressive and going barebones the realistic floor would cut it to $12 – $15 million total across all non revenue sports- down from $25–30M now.

This would free up $10 – $15 million in redirected funds that could be pushed toward football- via rev share, facilities, NIL collectives, etc.

Funnel all or most all NIL/Collectives to football. NIL collectives are third party and not capped the same way as the $20.5M school rev-share. In an all in scenario, we could push $12 – $18 million+ through football specific collectives. Top programs like Texas and Georgia are already in that range or just a little higher.

If we went full “football first” and maximized every lever- we could have a realistic football investment of roughly $31 – $42 million per year.

This would put MSU in the top 10 nationally for football spending.
A $31–42 million annual football budget would be transformative.

We could compete for top-10 classes consistently
World-class weight room, nutrition, recovery, player lounge- the small edges that turn good players into great ones.
Higher salaries for better coaches and assistants.
Most likely 9–11 win seasons regularly with legitimate SEC title and playoff contention.

Football is the only sport that can generate real profit at MSU. If the goal is to be the very best they can be, the drastic move is to maximize football spending by minimizing non revenue losses and aggressively funneling every available dollar (rev-share + NIL + boosters) into football. This is exactly what the top programs are already doing. We are currently leaving money on the table by continuing to subsidize large deficits in baseball and women’s basketball while football struggles to compete. Football is the only sport that generates real profit. Maximizing it creates a much larger surplus that lifts the ENTIRE department. This HAS to be THE plan going forward. If anyone disagrees then lay it out. I’ve been saying this since the NIL/portal started. If we are not united in thís funneling plan- that we would get left behind in everything- and the that the holes only grow deeper.

If you don’t like this plan- then lay out one instead of just whining.

I can’t believe you and @OG Goat Holder arent ADs and conference commissioners

Ok got it- Your master plan is just hire the best coach in the country and money magically appears. No need to fix the huge leaks that football is currently subsidizing and missing out on. Just wave the “hire a good coach” wand and suddenly more rev sharing, NIL, portal talent, facilities, and donors all rain down from heaven.

Brilliant. Why didn’t we think of that sooner?

Let’s just call Curt Cignetti tomorrow and offer him the job. Or better yet, bring back Nick Saban. Problem solved. The deficits disappear, the money rolls in, and we never have to make another tough decision again. It’s the athletic department version of “just buy more lottery tickets and you’ll be rich.”

[Walkthedawg]

Keep on saying “it’s impossible” without reading the numbers. That’s worked great so far. Lazy asss.

Well that's pointing out to one of the problems we have. We don't know WTF is going on. We don't know where we stand. We don't know what is needed. We don't know for sure what is spent. Hell we don't even know if we paid a dime to the Olineman that is ineligible. Which would be absolutely unforgivable. That's probably why we don't. There is next to zero transparency and we just assume what we are told from certain "sources".

 

[bulldoghair]

Gosh, I wonder if Selmon knows about all these easy fixes. You should email them directly to him. Pure genius

Selmon is just happy to have the paycheck and the title. He was hired by “that firm” precisely because he’s a good ol’ boy who won’t rock the boat. He’s cucked from day one- completely neutered by the same network that keeps protecting these money pit black holes while football gets the scraps. Of course he already knows. But when your boss is more worried about keeping the country club good ol boys happy than fixing the department, you learn real quick to smile, nod, and keep the red ink flowing.

Some of us are tired of watching the golden goose get bled dry so the golden calf can keep eating.

Let’s stop pretending the emperor has clothes when he’s standing there buck naked with a $10 million inch combined deficit hanging out.

 

[Walkthedawg]

Indiana turned things around with a massive, sustained investment in facilities, NIL, coaching, and culture.

We did this and just got swept in a back to back weekend series for the first time ever in the program history. So that's not all of it.

 

[bulldoghair]

You nailed it.
Hire a good coach and you never have to worry about finding money.

That “real” money moved can also help hire a good coach and good assistant coaches.

 

[8dog]

That “real” money moved can also help hire a good coach and good assistant coaches.

We have plenty of money for that. The challenge there is getting someone interested in us. anyone worth paying - let’s say $8mill to is going to have options. We will never pass on a coach b/c of salary.

 

[The Peeper]

Any of you ever been members of a Country Club? The athletic dept of most schools have to operate like a Country Club. There are some members of the Country Club that use the golf course and restaurant/bar and that's it, nothing else. Other members play tennis, swim, and eat and that's it, nothing else. Some that only use the restaurant and pool and maybe play bingo on game night and attend holiday parties and that's it. None of those different activities would fund the entire Country Club standalone by themselves, but put all the different type members together and many clubs operate fine.

I've been a member of 3 different clubs over the years and have seen this happen at every one of them. The club will decide the pool isn't worth having because of insurance cost, cost of chemicals, electricity to run the pumps, lifeguards etc. so they will close the pool to save money. What happens then? They save money obviously from the pool expenses being cut, but, lose members that never used the golf course or played tennis but they came to the club to swim and eat. Since the wife and kids could no longer swim all that was left for them was maybe the restaurant so the wives said screw this we aren't paying this membership just to fund golf. Those members helped fund the golf course and everything else w/ their dollars even though they never used the golf course or tennis.

One club we were members of needed the tennis courts resurfaced and overhead lights replaced for night play. The club and members argued awhile but the club finally said nope too expensive we need some new equipment for the golf course and closed them. The members that regularly played tennis took their restaurant money and pool money and golf money and terminated their memberships. The club didn't have to resurface courts or buy lighting but they lost revenues because the tennis member dues were gone. One club we were members of cut the restaurant open days from 6 days a week to 3 on Friday, Saturday, Sunday only to save labor cost, gas, electricity etc. The members that regularly ate lunch, brought customers or friends to dinner, and the ladies that played bridge two days a week said screw this and pulled out.

So, those that advocate closing the pool or tennis courts or restaurant or whatever need to account for lost contributions from those that are going to say screw this if we can't swim we aren't going to pay for golf. We have lots of donors that are going to say the same thing, no more women's basketball or soccer or baseball or whatever are going to walk and say screw this I'm going and taking my NIL and 1878 or Excellence Fund money with me. Donors that support those non revenue sports fund way more than just those sports with their NIL, 1878 and Excellence fund donations.

In your financial scenario doghair are you accounting for those that don't give a damn about football but love their school and their women's basketball or soccer or baseball or whatever sport and will take ALL their other donations with them when their sport is cut because they don't give a damn about football? Just a thought...................

Thís was addressed in this thread on page one. We aren’t cutting the programs, just the deficits along with cutting rev share with that group and force them to foot the bill if they want. As Anon pointed out first- Those that don’t give a damn about football have never been forced to fully fund their money losing program by a single administration at State. We don’t need those type of people holding our entire administration hostage. My plan has balls and can move forward without them.

Then it can get larger w/out their future contributions. Funny how the Excellence Fund, 1878, Bulldog Initiative, NIL all request even small monthly donations but you and doghair don't want them from non revenue sports fans though, all while not having a clue when one of them may be a large donor

No one who is throwing a fit over the school forcing the boosters to pay for baseball instead of football paying for baseball is wealthy enough to make any sort of negligible difference in the sport that has carried you financially for the past 50 years. Forcing the boosters to pay for baseball will be a net financial positive for the school. That’s not even debatable.

This is a great analogy. Well done.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

I propose Steve Martin's joke on his solution on how you can make 1 million dollars and not pay taxes. He goes into a big blustery opening of he can tell you how to make 1 million dollars and not pay any taxes and states it in multiple ways. The first part of the punchline is "First get a million dollars..."

So to solve all this, first become a billionaire...

 

[bulldoghair]

This is a great analogy. Well done.

Ha no it wasn’t. The analogy would only work if the golf course was losing millions every year and the tennis players were the only ones keeping the lights on. In that case, any sane club would either make the golf members pay their fair share or shrink the golf operation- not keep subsidizing it forever out of fear that a few members might leave.

The donors who only care about baseball or whatever sport are not “helping subsidize football” in any meaningful way. In reality, it’s the opposite- football’s profit is quietly covering the massive deficits in those sports. Our plan doesn’t need members like that anyway to move forward. In fact our plan tells them the F off if that’s what they want.

So you are saying (if I interpret this, it's difficult) that we need to squeeze sports like baseball to concentrate more on football? Baseball, like the one sport that we care most about as fans? The one sport that we have our only national championship in and the best facilities in the nation? The sport that we spend more than any other school on?

In my opinion, we will never be able to spend as much on football as some of the big guys, so we just need to stay competitive and maximize our 7-8-9 win seasons when we can. We can't go all out on football and get close to where we need to be, to be one of the big boys in the sport.

He’s saying you fans that care so much about it need to pay for it and put your money where your mouth is instead of telling football to fund your facilities and stadiums and lounge spots. If you truly give a **** then raise the prices and pay for that sh*t that no one else in the country watches and buy it for yourself. for the last 2 decades that sport has been a born on third base spoiled brat telling daddy to keep giving them the credit card instead of paying what it takes yourself to win.

Anon’s response back to you is to the point.

You’re still stuck in the same old loop.
“But we love baseball” and “we’ll never be the big boys anyway” isn’t a plan- it’s surrender dressed up as realism. It’s the comfortable excuse that keeps us stuck as an entire athletic department. It’s the excuse that hijackers use to manipulate and control funds for their money losing sport. Our plan is only plan and path forward for us now in today’s world of college athletics. We have to maximize and consolidate to get the snow ball rolling and get this department train rolling. When football gets stronger- The surplus grows.

We’re self sabotaging- and being hijacked handicapped because the leadership positions are too afraid to make the tough call. They’re controlled, neutered, and cucked.
