Just a theory but I think you are about to see serious reductions in staff, assistants, and support areas for the non-revenue sports. Additionally, HC salaries are about to come way down. Whether they accomplish that by letting folks go, encouraging retirement, I don't know, but that's a big piece of ops costs - salary and benefits - and is the usual answer when an entity wants to "cut costs while maximizing returns" and such. You will also likely see more "juice" on the tickets for said events or a lot of NASCAR-type advertising on facilities, uniforms, etc.

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

Boggles my mind that Gymnastics lost 2.5M in 2023.

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.

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.

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.
