Won’t believe unless they truly opened their books. Dated but a great book on college sports finances was written in the late 90s by Mo Sperber called College Sports Inc and details how Universities shuffle money around to pretend football and basketball programs make money, but actually run at deficits. Only two programs made money back then... Notre Dame... because the priests remformed the finance post Knute Rockney and Frank Leyden. Forget the other one. Would love to see a detailed update. I think there has been something more recent but would need to research. PR departments at these programs are a well of misinformation.
No even before all that... travel expenses, recruitment expenses, bowl game expenses, conference revenue sharing, more coaches, tutors etc than an NFL team and roster size alone takes care of that plus all the perks coaches and staff recieve.
PS Atheletic departments especially football waste more money then they bring in and cover it up with misc student fees. Make them run them like a true business and we will see how many declare bankruptcy.
Try radio.com app, as an expat that is where I get WGR, also mad dog and the fan in NYC area.
PS I remember OJ running at old Rock Pile. Also Bills parades down Delaware Ave. OJ handed me and my friend big oranges as we were following them on our banana seat bikes.
Had friends who were semi pro riders in my 20s. Mostly sprint races in the DC area. Its a tough and rough sports. Lots of elbows thrown and wrecks can be disasterous. The tour de France is rough and a model of crazy endurance.
My Uncle David joined the Marines, though he was drafted by the Colts as a defensive end... the Marines paid better in the 50s. He was the 6'5" Ivy League Trophy Winner out of Dartmouth... David Bathrick. He later became a German Professor and philosopher.
Pretty much... quick stops for gas only. PS Wife and I did 28 hours straight from NYC to Reno taking turns sleeping in back of Honda a year ago last xmas. It can be done
Never thought of the violent drunken fans in the stands as a family sport. That being enjoyed cheerleaders but yeh they should get paid... wtf was the nfl thinking with all the money they make. Women and men objectify themselves all the time... but agree its a double edge sword. A women with big fake boobs and a practically see thru shirt is what? You can glance, but if you stare as a guy you are a creep. Maybe so, heck not even that attracted to that but they tend to be an eye sore anyway hard not to take a long look. Still cheerleading, actual cheerleading is serious and part gymnastics... dance routine though are more of the objectivism and only help during a boring game. I am ok with either as long if the decision yes than they should be paid well.
Rehab work and repair techniques. Achilles tendons are low blood flow areas. Your blood carries bodies that repair tissues. So that area needs to be stimulated early and often once repair is done. Rehab consistency and focus is essential to successful repair. Understanding it takes awhile and consistent pt even after feeling better is important and better understood.
OJ probably didnt need to pass protect much. Teams keyed on him even in the flats so he would take two defenders with him. Plus he carried the ball 30 plus times a game.. Almost unheard of in today’s game.
