Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3916730, member: 199"] Um - The $.5B media number for the ESPN contract is allocated across 23 [B]men's[/B] and women's sports - basically everything except Men's Basketball. So they can claim that the expenses they incur for all the sports other than women's basketball need to be subtracted from that $.5B ESPN is paying. That makes it much easier to say the women's basketball expenses are a negative number. Of course ESPN might pay a little money to have rights to men's wrestling or gymnastics or ..., but 90+% of their production is for and profit is from the WCBB tournament. Mixing the WCBB income and expense together with all the other sports creates the narative that they want to perpetuate. [/QUOTE]
