That said, folks don't need to count anything to know whether or not a long snapper plays on the offensive line. The countless responses you've already received from numerous different people tell the story. But again, everyone already knows that, you included. Yet, you do your dance. Keep showing us those sweet, sweet moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be unhappy to note that the athletic department just released the financial statements for the most recent fiscal year. In terms of how the corporate world works, there is no lowering of standards. Revenues are historically high, profits also very strong. Those are figures that overrule any "expectation or self goals" where Dr. Gougue is concerned, and he's the only PTB that matters .... Auburn athletics reports record revenue, increased profit during 2018-19 fiscal year AUBURN — Auburn's athletics department reported a record revenue of more than $152.4 million during the 2019-fiscal year, according to the university’s NCAA Membership Financial Report. That's an increase of nearly $5 million from the 2017-18 total of $147.6 million, which was the previous record. It also marks the seventh straight year that revenues have increased. Auburn's profit margin also rose, according to the annual report released to the Montgomery Advertiser on Thursday in response to a Freedom of Information Act request — the department reported an operating excess of nearly $13.2 million. That's more than the $7.8 million total reported during the 2017-18 fiscal year, but not quite as high as the $14.6 million and $15.2 million in profit Auburn claimed in 2016-17 and 2015-16, respectively. Auburn's operating expenses decreased, from $139.7 million in 2017-18 to $139.2 million in 2018-19. Football ($95.1 million) and men's basketball ($15.5 million) accounted for more than 70% of the department's revenue. Both sports made more than they did the year prior ($93.5 million and $11.2 million, respectively). https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/sports/college/auburn/2020/01/23/auburn-athletics-department-reports-record-revenue-increase-profit-2018-19-fiscal-year-allen-greene/4554072002/ With all this money, now why is it we can't have chair-back UPPER DECK seats like THIS in JH Stadium?

Some of it's superficial, and possibly could be considered skirting impermissible benefits, since all it takes is one normal student complaining he can't get a haircut (free?) from the team barber. But now I see why some of you think the university is not up to the levels of other teams. Basically we just need to attach a Dave and Busters to the athletic complex.

The name of the facility kinda speaks for itself. Normal AU students like my two kids won't be roaming around that thing.

I doubt the normal student will be in the FOF, but if an athlete is getting something for free (other than what's allowed) that a normal student can't get you'll see someone raise a stink. Remember the old football only dorms back in the 90's...gone. Remember supposed inequality in athletics...gone (Title IX). What's next...who knows.

But Auburn isn't afraid, they aren't scared of breaking ncaa rules with this FOF. They've seen damn near every school around us build them and there have been no issues. Auburn wants this FOF, Gus donated $2MM of his own money to the project, over 75% of the expense has been pledged through Greene's fundraising. Millions have already been spent on the design and planning, it's coming. There will always be inequality in athletics, but I'm sure you know that. Student-athletes get a free ride, free meals/housing/nutritionist/personal trainers/performance clothing and shoes/free tutoring and a sizable monthly stipend. Normal students get none of that and end up having to help supplement the damn athletic department through ridiculous student fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
