Budget Deficit

[marceagfan5]

Y'know what might help drive some revenue? Adding 6,000 seats to Roos Field.

I wonder if our admin sees what Montana is doing and recognizes the lost opportunity? They roll in $$$ every weekend. And they aren't even all that good at football.

As for basketball playing more road games, is that serious? They only played one D1 non-conference game and that was in the middle of Winter break. Two years ago, Chaves didn't schedule a single d1 non-conference home game. Not one. Where are these additional road games going to come from?

Could it be that much of the scheduling in BB and FB was driven by the budget rather than common sense?

Yes, unfortunately it’s a short term view instead of looking at the long term picture. The best thing we can do for our budget and revenue, is to win games, it’s as simple as that. It sometimes feels like we are trying to manage the budget on a yearly basis so much, that we don’t realize the dividends that could be paid down the road with successful seasons back to back in our bigger sports programs.

Short term planning and budgeting only is successful as part of long term planning and budgeting. Short term planning and budgeting - only - is a discouraging, depreciating, limitation resulting in waste of talent and money leading nowhere. (Yup, experienced business degree in action!) Not feeling positive about prospective ADs or the basis of selection. Still, always a great day to be an Eagle.
