I just think the timing is odd and if the WBB program was in the black it wouldn't look so strange.Quote:

Other than Baylor, which uses some odd accounting, ISU is #2 in the Big 12 in least money lost on WBB behind Texas Tech (08-09 numbers). ISU is in the lower half of the conference in WBB expenses.
Growing deficits in women's programs straining budgets
Can someone update me on Hilton and concessions management? With our attendance, I would expect there to be well in excess of a million dollars in concession sales - food and drink. There ought to be additional revenues in licensed products, television, radio, tournament share and tickets. All of that ought to be in excess of the 1.5 million in revenues we're reporting. I assume the coaching staff "owns" all revenues from camps and some endorsements.
There are also indirect revenues attributed to the program. There are general licensed products, Cyclone Club dues and general university/foundation/alumni association dues and donations which are induced by the team. The university and Ames community also profit. We travel to Ames several times a year, book a room, buy food and drink, gas, and shop because of WBB.
The U of Iowa is in a MUCH better financial position than is ISU.Quote:

The real question is: When will this job be filled, and by whom? This job has been posted FOREVER. Sure do not need to worry about BF hiring too fast on this one....
Obviously taking their time to make sure they satisfy the diversity requirement of the Register.:yes:Quote:

They don't state what year the figures are so I am guessing last year (2008-2009).
