13 years later here we are. basketball purgatory and 2 decent football teams. pls nuke this stupid thread. its bad juju

As mediocre or as downright bad as we’ve been in some years between both sports, our overall results have probably been better than Rutgers over the same span of time and we aren’t $500m in the hole.

There are rich and poor teams. Then there's fifty feet of crap, and then there's Rutgers. (Yes I stole it from Moneyball lol)

And they still don't even have a Fieldhouse...LOL

I was surprised they were able to hold on to KJ Duff. I wonder what they are paying him?

Unfortunately Rutgers uses a different accounting method than almost all schools in the P4. Capital projects, for instance, are ledgered to the athletic department instead of the general account. PSU has an almost half billion dollar renovation of their stadium not ledgered to their athletic department. The one standout item in revenues is the lack of alum donations. RU is around 8 million per year while the rest of the B1G is around 30 million per year.
If all schools used Rutgers accounting methodology, much larger deficits would be reported at all the schools.

This makes absolutely no sense. The NCAA has uniform accounting requirements to evaluate a university’s finances for athletics. See below:

• NCAA Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP): Division I schools must complete an annual financial report, while Division II schools must complete an "agreed-upon procedures" report at least once every three years. These reports must be conducted by a qualified independent accountant and presented to the university’s president or chancellor.
• Annual Financial Data Submission: All NCAA members (Divisions I, II, and III) are required to submit financial data annually to the NCAA through the Membership Financial Reporting System (MFRS).
• Scope of Procedures: The mandatory, independent, third-party review includes a, comprehensive look at revenue, expenses, and capital related to intercollegiate athletics, including data from outside, affiliated groups (like boosters).
• EADA Reporting: In addition to NCAA requirements, institutions receiving federal funding must submit an annual report under the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA), which outlines the financial performance of their men’s and women’s programs.

Purpose of the Procedures
These procedures are designed to ensure that university leaders (presidents/chancellors) are aware of all financial activities, including deficits, and to facilitate comparisons of financial data across institutions (via the Institutional Performance Program).
