Iowa State gives $5 million to the basketball team as part of their

Revenue sharing, which does not include NIL. The NIL money is added to this figure. I have no idea how much they spend, but it is likely more than us. They, and the Big 12 have gotten creative with ways to generate additional revenue, such as guaranteeing a minimum of $1 million for participating in The Players Era Festival.

Football has the Return on Investment, it’s not even close, we first need

Agree on FB ROI, but few schools sustain success in football OR basketball

Yes, FL 🏀 up, but for 🏈, championships were 18 years ago. So they haven’t

It's who we are. Not gonna change. **
40ozDistrict • 02/28/26 11:35 PM ET
Agreed. But it will require way more $ than we've ever spent. Not just NIL**

Which begs the question even more...
LonghornHokie • 03/01/26 04:56 PM ET
Me too. Seems like we went all in on football.
CPVT3 • 02/28/26 11:05 PM ET
Maybe we should fund the football team less and the hoops team more.
GreenvilleVT • 02/28/26 11:01 PM ET
Only if VT wants to become irrelevant in athletics**
marcbvtgm • 03/02/26 09:20 AM ET
Too late after what we are paying Franklin **
HokiesACC2004 • 03/01/26 02:02 AM ET
another option, get the football money machine going
MaroonMark • 02/28/26 11:05 PM ET
I agree. **
GreenvilleVT • 02/28/26 11:49 PM ET
What does that mean?
Jasonh • 02/28/26 11:09 PM ET
It means you don't put your money into businesses which generate revenues
marcbvtgm • 03/02/26 09:23 AM ET
basketball also needs significant facility upgrades to compete
MaroonMark • 02/28/26 11:13 PM ET
Oh no it doesn't
