Report

If this is your qualifications for the NT HOF, that's just sad. It would be overrun with JAGs.

In the 2024 report, we spent $916,452 on Fund Raising. $908, 610 in 2023 and $772,751 in 2022.

Last year we spent $780,218 on recruiting. In comparison, Admin Overhead increased by $2,288,882 for a new yearly total of $6,392,713. While overall expenses increased by 7.18%, Admin Overhead grew by 56.56%. Detail on the specific expense categories in Admin Overhead is sparse. It's described as: Overhead and administrative expenses paid by or charged directly to athletics including: Administrative/Overhead fees charged by the institution to athletics Facilities maintenance Security Risk Management Utilities Equipment Repair Telephone Other Administrative Expenses It would be interesting to know where the increase fell or maybe the University simply increased it's charges to Athletics. We spent a total of $627,250 on severance payment. $392,414 for football and $234,836 for women's basketball. Not sure how many more years these payments extend. Perhaps 2024 was the last year. We allocate $100,000 a year to spirit groups described as including bands, cheerleaders, mascots, dancers, etc. I assume some of this also goes to Maniacs, but it's not clear. There is a lot of data on coaches (number, compensation, etc.), but little details on the actual Athletic Department itself. As the single largest expense category (over 18% by itself) of the overall budget of the Athletic Department, that seems odd to me, but I guess it's not required. Maybe it's included as part of the overall University's financial reports.

No 1 and done in the HoF. That privilege should be for more than a 1 season hired gun. Should include a good ambassador to the school over a period of time. Somebody that has skin in the game. I would rather give it to Stone. He has been here the whole nine yards, contributed in anyway he could, is a great teammate, cheers from the bench. just my opinion

Some of these staff positions take time to bear fruit. For instance, I have been hearing that the fund raising arm of athletics has been making great strides. You may not see that immediately, however it will payoff in the long run.
