So, we are going to be wasting 70% on football?

Sadly

Sadly

That is supposedly less than most real football programs are spending.  Most think the football powers will use 75% for that sport.

Most of the baseball allocations I've seen were 5% or less, so maybe we're going to try to be one of the big spenders there, which is a good thing. 

We really have three choices. 

One is to fire Pittman, replace him with someone with the chance to be competent, and then go all in with the rev share...something like 80-85%.  Prove once and for all whether money or coaching is our biggest problem.

Or we could continue to underfund football relative to the other sports, while boosting men's basketball and baseball to a level higher than our peers.  This is my preferred option as of right now, and what we appear to be doing if reports are true.

Finally we could just do what everyone else is going, and half ass our way through to mediocrity in all three sports with any following at all.   Knowing Arkansas athletics and watching Yurachek repeatedly make boneheaded decisions, I suspect this is the most likely outcome.

Read it again.  Particularly the next to last paragraph.

Big East revenue sharing should be interesting because they can put all their funds into their basketball programs.

This site makes very different estimates. But the 25% "unallocated" is doing a lot of work. And I don't know if this is just a private person making guesses, or what.

Looking at the avg per player

I am surprised we are spending more on gymkata than either track or golf team  or soccer which have had more success.

Not sure I would spend more on women's basketball than softball or soccer  right now.

[vegashog]

from what i've read, those figures are based on last year's revenue.

also i think (kinda hard to understand exactly what he meant) the new gm said arkansas won't be releasing their revenue sharing model.

[Cardiac Hog]

I think that table is just a computer calculation of what sharing would look like if schools used the following formula
% Allocation = % sports spedific revenue + non-sports-specific revenue x % sports-specific revenue

But that is not how each school will necessarily allocate the revenue share funds.  Most sports will not receive any revenue share.

Not the thread for this but...

For frick's sake, don't have an epic collapse in basketball and make one less than the three epic frick ups in baseball and it could have been a hell of a year.

Every time Razorback sports starts drawing me back in, posts like this save me from the heart break of watching them again. 

I didn't have to witness this years version of the Fail Ninja, thank goodness.

I think youve been under a rock. Do you work for nothing?  Let's get past this silly ruse of amateur student athaletes; that's been dead for decades. 

Who said anything about student-athletes? I said athlete-students. Huge difference YUGE.

And these kids don't work. A person works when they have a job. You mean to tell me that kids won't go to college, for free, and accept everything that comes with it, for free, if they aren't paid a piece of the revenue? You make it sound like kids will opt for Taco Bell instead of going to college. I highly doubt it.

Fuck these kids.

I was in the same boat as you. But then head coaches salaries exploded, and staff salaries exploded, and University revenues exploded with TV contracts. Then coaches started leaving jobs for more money overnight after kids committed to them the week before. A coach left for greener pasture, the schools worked out the buyout money. An athlete left for greener pasture, "welcome to the sideline, son."

The pot got bigger and sweeter for everyone except the student athlete, who was always getting that same 4 year degree...sometimes.

You have to keep the meals free, but I'd damn sure make sure they pay for everything else. Just like the kid working his way through school has to. Your housing, books, tuition and special tutoring and taxes comes out of your pay. Several have made the point that they're employees, treat them like you would a maintenance worker on campus.

Comments have some valid points. You would think he would be smarter than to have posted this.

i think he's making a pretty good point. what exactly is wrong with it?

and the comments from a bunch of people who hate him anyway doesn't mean shit in the context of the tweet.

The lawyers are like the doctors transition kids. "Who cares of they are actually suffering from Gender Dysphoria ir not?" "As long I get paid and get more clients who cares?"
