Baseball has no spending cap

So we should look to not a salary cap, but a spending cap, based on TV
revenue or something?  All the pro sports have some sort of spending limit
to encourage parity.



Under the table cash payments to athletes should be considered in the cap.

Donations are actually up.  TV revenue will soon, if not already, matter
more than ticket sale revenue.

There definitely has been mixed results with the athletic teams this year,
but football definitely financially subsidizes the majority of these sports.
Winning in the Olympic sports doesn't help financially.  Even with the
recent success and support for baseball, I would be surprised if the
expenses were lower than revenues.  Everything I've read (and the internet
is always right) states that donations and football tickets are down this
year due to consecutive under performing years of the football team.  Even
though college athletics is "amateur," we are fooling ourselves if we don't
think of this as a business and the Athletic Director is the CEO.  If
football can no longer support the other sports, Barta is ultimately
accountable.

This will be an interesting year with the football team and the downstream
effects.

Hopefully, the team surprises and exceeds expectations.

On Iowa!

While this is not the leader in the conference, I certainly would not say we
were worst, or even among the worst. Several sports had solid years. Some
sports had miserable years. Some had outstanding years. The only thing
missing from this list is National Championships. Other than a few elite
programs, (Ohio State being the most obvious choice this year), you won't
find many 'multiple' championship teams at the same program consistently.



I have no problem pointing out our flaws, but let's also give a fair
representation. We have a long way to go, but we are not digging out of a
hole here.

That is shame on us, myself included. We have now arguably the worst or
among the worst overall athletic program in the conference and we just keep
shelling out money.

Barta's not going anywhere, he raises oops and gobs of money.  About what he
says about Ferentz, what do we expect him to say?  Ferentz isn't what he
used to be but I'm giving him another year or two?  I don't think he will
throw Ferentz under the bus quite yet.

Probably not a good sign if AD feels it's necessary to throw bouquets to
fans to try to boost the rep and credibility of a coach after, lo, so many
years in charge!
