Has to come down to operational costs & being locked into contract bids w/ vendors that monopolize goods and services, I would have to think.

That's probably a big piece of it, for sure.

I do know that baseball unleashed the new HOF lounge this past season, so I am sure that put a hurtin’ on things, too.

You sly dog.

So, all that congressional activity...hearing after hearing after hearing...must have uncovered something earthshattering and actionable, no?

What's that?  Nothing happened.  Oh.

Well. At least we know you understand the word “obtuse.”

Agreed.  That said, our non-revenue sports are pretty well-attended, you just can't juice folks for tix like FB/BB can do.

As passionate as our fans are, this is nuts to me.

I haven't looked at any numbers, but if the baseball team is not, they need to fire whoever be in charge.  Despite the crappy season, they still drew record numbers.  If you're pretty close to capacity in most games, and you're still not profitable, sum ting wong.

Unfortunately attendance doesn’t really equate directly to profitability.

And at Auburn, the only two sports that generate revenue are Football and Men's basketball.

Someone doesn't know the definition of "debunked."

Line out for me how Hunter Biden's gun troubles are an issue for any of us to worry about.

The tax thing will come with a bunch of side-dressing of foreign-relations smear, but all the substantive claims around his time at Burisma were debunked in congressional hearing, mostly by the Republican's own witnesses.  So, get him if he underpaid his taxes I guess.
