here is a very detailed article I found about Baylor's athletic finances. not exactly small-time anymore:

sorry, I shouldn't be posting here, but the combination of misinformation and...
this post is better off ignored, but it's a perfect example of libel. if only I gave a ***** about the rep of Bliss... lol
but I mean, wow, educate yourself on what actually happened before you go spouting off lies, maybe?
when we joined the Big 12 in 1995, our budget was 7.5 million.
last figure I saw was 59 million (with break even revenue), good for 4th in the league (tied with Mizz I believe)...

STOP comparing ISU to Baylor, I am not here to do that. I have already said you guys have an amazing fanbase.
Baylor fans had endured almost 20 years of constant OU blowouts, jus sayin
Re: Baylor To Get Largest Donation in History
he was forced into a starting role as a scrawny FR because of Griffin's ACL. it was a rough year, but he did have 1 bright spot, breaking the then-school record for passing yards in a road win @ Mizzou: Baylor Bears vs. Missouri Tigers - Recap -...
Re: Baylor To Get Largest Donation in History
yeah, that was awful. only excuse is our fans thought we were going to lose. we had lost @ OSU badly and @ aggy, beat Mizzou, but then had to make a miracle comeback to beat Kansas. our fans were thinking blowout, I know I was.

my god, you guys are dumb.
anybody at the Elite 8 game Baylor vs Duke? at least 40k Baylor fans...

Re: Baylor To Get Largest Donation in History
lol, the ignorance is comical. time will prove you guys to be delusional. I am out, enjoy your day Cyclones.

Re: Baylor To Get Largest Donation in History
we don't show up for everyone. that is our biggest problem. we show up more for the opponent than we do Baylor. it's the price you pay when 80% of your crowd comes from Dallas and Houston.
and anyone that has been going to Baylor games knows that...
Re: Baylor To Get Largest Donation in History
been to a game in the last few years? we have legit tailgates now.
