Iowa Football Recruiting

I wish my seats were as cheap as the best seats in Kinnick

Please. Stop. We all know it's not the same and you are making us look like morons. I don't have season tickets because I'm 2 states away but my best friend and my brother in law do...it's a good deal.

If the b12 continues climbing ISU will climb with it and those seats will become premiums. Just a matter of time if all goes well.

If you're asking him to stop trolling you might as well be asking for him to be banned lol. 95% of his posts are troll jobs.

Premium tickets are more expensive at Historic Jack Trice Stadium than Kinnick. That's a fact.

So the donors give the $90 million, he claims it is all given upfront........then why isn't that $90 million reflected as revenue for the athletic department? The other donations are listed as income. His argument makes no sense.

Go Iowa Awesome??? Is your source for that gem??

Holy ****. Take an accounting class, or better yet learn to read.

College athletic departments like to pretend they’re broke by focusing on “profits,” even though profit is a wholly irresponsible way to judge their financial health. That’s because they’re “non-profits”—they’re incentivized to spend as much money as they bring in, because if they don’t, there will be pressure to either return the money to the university to pay for academics or to pay the labor that’s generating all this money.



When Pollard funded the SEZ project, they finance that. The debt is then paid down by the doners, and the depreciation is taken by the AD department. ISU is doing the same things.


How in the F*** do you think Pollard is doing all the facility upgrades that he has done off the paltry “profit” that the books shows the ISU AD department makes?


Don’t be a complete and total idiot. If you wanna troll, do like @CyTwins does and say “My premium ticket cost more than Hawkeye premium tickets”. The simple fact is Iowa football makes more than double in ticket sales 24 million vs 10.5 millio than ISU. That is because ISU sells it’s product so incredibly cheap and still sells 12-15K less tickets per game.

Saying premium tickets cost more isn't a troll. Iowa generates more revenue off ticket sales but our premium tickets have are more expensive. Those are the facts.

So Iowa just throws millions of dollars away to Ferentz just because they have lots of money, according to Kevin Trahan and his article.

Hawkeye supporters should rethink concerning donations to such an irresponsible athletic department. Scamming their donors. Wow.

Well at least you finally realized that Iowa didn’t “lose” 3 million, that is a start.


Big time programs spend big time money. When you are a top 20 revenue producing Athletic Department, you pay your coaches. Paying a coach 4 million a year now is nothing. Saban is getting over 11 million, Harbaugh 9 million. Hermans starting salary at Texas is over 5 million. Sumlin gets 5 million.


The financial health of Iowa is very sound. To try to make the claim that Iowa was hurting because they showed a 3 million dollar loss and ISU was healthy because they showed a profit was ignorant. At least you understand that now.

So University of Iowa is intentionally deceiving their supporters with misinformation for financial gain. Bunch of corrupt Liars.

I remember the Hawkeyes throwing millions at Lickliter, for no good reason. Sounds like an irresponsible Athletic Department that cares little about the sacrifices donors make to give their contributions.

Seamless backtracking there.
 
So Iowa State University is intentionally deceiving their supporters with misinformation for financial gain. Bunch of corrupt Liars.

I remember the Cyclones throwing millions at Paul Rhoads, for no good reason. Sounds like an irresponsible Athletic Department that cares little about the sacrifices donors make to give their contributions.

FIFY,

This is what All AD do. Get a clue.

Iowa State has $30 million less revenue, as you pointed out. So NO. We are not throwing over $4 million per year at our football coach just to get rid of money. We are finally upgrading our facilities to a decent level. And IMO Pollard has done a great job of getting us a lot of bang for the buck. Quit trying to lump everyone together. But I accept your claim that the Iowa Athletic Department is wasteful and deceitful.

Pollard is deceitful. He claims he can't pay coaches and let Cael and Freddie get away because is his too cheap. Iowa St absolutely could have paid those two.

As a Finance professional, yes one needs to look at Cash Flows and not the paper income / loss. What gets highlighted is the paper income / loss which includes non cash expenses like facility depreciation, etc. Cash Flows would show exactly how many $s coming in and going out (paying the bills).
