Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Also, there will be live pre game interviews with players via periscope.

Jim Delany confirmed negotiations have started in regard to the Big Ten's new media rights deal. He said nothing more on the topic.

Did you remember to bring our audition tape Jim?

Why is full quote less promising? A cincy fan asks about Big 12 expansion and an ESPN reporter whose job is to cover Big 12 says Uconn is strongest contender and the school he keeps hearing as a favorite. Sounds like one of the best (and legit) tweets we've gotten so far.

I just read the BYU/Cincy "obvious favorites" part as a buzzkill. Not sure of the full context though. I hope you're right.

Wow. 2 million above Rutgers, and a whopping 20 million above the next closest non-P5 (Cincy). Just imagine if we had a tv contract commensurate with our importance in the athletics world. Soon, I hope...

Not true. We hauled in $45 million, and the other $27 million was subsidized by students or donors. Aka, not good or sustainable.
 
Before we run the tweet off the rails, remember that schools are required to report finances differently.

Not specific to just UConn, but what UConn must report as a subsidy another school may report as revenue.

I can't see how a subsidy is counted as revenue.

Some of the "subsidy" has already been explained in other threads, which is basically a difference in reporting. The rest of the subsidy, I would argue, is perfectly sustainable if you understand the value of athletics toward general student body recruitment and university name recognition. I won't get into it here, because I avoid punches to the throat. But suffice it to say that President Herbst and the UConn leadership understand the value of the athletic dollar in terms of generating revenue elsewhere at the university, even in times of restrictive budgets. It is a form of advertising expenditure that generates more returns than any other form of advertising...
 
One thing I think Nelson and his band of merry men fail to realize is that student recreation and intramural sports are run through the athletic department. The Fieldhouse doubles as the student rec center right now..soon to be replaced by a new facility across from the Co-Op where the grad student housing presently is. Intramural sports are held on or in athletic department facilities. There was at one time a Associate AD that was in charge of intramural sports programs as well. So the student fees that are taken in go to upkeep the facilities and pay to keep them
Open for said events/sports. What the Athletic Dept should do is seperate these costs and tag them as such. That way the true "subsidy" can be shown!

Can you provide a breakdown of this with sources?
