    Gotta Have Game 2 Thread:

    We need some optimism. We’re 11-8 in conference. Go 2-1 this series, 1-2 @ Texas, 2-1 vs Auburn, 1-2 @ A&M. 16-14 we maybe host. Sweep Auburn or 2-1 vs A&M we certainly host

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    This is the student pass for 2025-2026. $250 for all baseball, football, and basketball. For reference Alabama does not even include football in their student package, they are purchased separately through a lottery, and the “all other sports” package is $550. The students, while not...

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    It’s not an elitist point of view to say we need to increase ticket prices. It’s just simple math. We have a cathedral of a stadium, probably the best in the country. But also one of the most expensive. If we’re constantly selling out and smashing attendance records with people even having...

    The rate is actually very, very good. Much better than you would think. Because unlike let’s say someone building a home based off their personal income, this was backed by a big institution with a passionate fanbase and pretty much guaranteed people in seats for years. It was way less risky...

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    It’s a public university. Don’t take my word for it. Multiple newspapers have looked filed FOIA, looked at the numbers provided by the school, and reported it. It would be against the law for a public university to report inaccurate numbers, and if anything they’d have incentive to fudge them...

    Arkansas cuts both men's and women's tennis

    Agreed. It’s the only money-losing sport that fanbases still show up to watch, and at least the local fanbases themselves, will watch on TV. The difference is that unlike basketball and football, almost no one outside of those specific fanbases are going to watch the games. Very few people...

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    Personally, with this pay-to-play, NIL, huge TV, corporatized era I think that eventually what is going to happen is that football and possibly men’s basketball break away, have a collectively bargaining agreement, with all profits going to just that FB/BB program’s players/coaches/families just...

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    You can’t just take that out that’s one of the biggest expenses. If Ole Miss recently said you know what heck yeah we’ve won 50 games in 5 years, made the playoffs. Let’s do a huge $100-200 million+ renovation to Vaught Hemingway and make it 80k seats, it would be one of the most expensive...

    Realistically, what they should do, is exempt football from the Title IX scholarship match requirement. Football has 85 scholarships, no other sport has more than 15-20. Should we really have to add five different money-losing women’s sports teams to match this? Football pays the bills at 95%...

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    Total was around $50m. 20 years to pay it off initially but usually places refinance terms. Not too much different than taking out a 20 year note on a house. 20 years technically gives us until 2040 or but I think our goal should be to pay it off by 2035. By the way I totally agree with your...

    Possible. But baseball never once made a profit before the new stadium. And we have about 10-15 years left paying it down.

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    Yes. For example there was a large chunk of money donated that went directly toward paying for the new baseball stadium. So I’m just making the numbers smooth as an example if Dudy Noble cost $100 total and $30 were donated to pay for the cost, we only took out debt on $70 total to finance it...

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    Well, this is another thing no one wants to hear, but we should raise the ticket prices for baseball, by a LOT. and increase concession prices as well. You can’t build the most expensive stadium in the country and then not increase the ticket prices much. The demand there is so massive, we sell...

    On the budget/cutting sports at MSU

    One solution is always cutting expenses. The other is to raise revenue. For revenue raising, I think Dudy Noble is vastly underutilized. It is a premier facility and should be used for far more than 20-30 baseball games. I think one thing we could and should do more of is holding concerts...
