Message: [QUOTE="IthaCuse, post: 5659989, member: 10689"] I don’t see why people say that football is a necessity for basketball. What do we need to run a basketball program? In theory we need maybe $5 million annually for coaches and the full $20.5 million for NIL. $25.5 million across 16 home games is just under $1.6 million per game. You cover that at just under $80 per ticket on average at an average crowd of 20,000, and hopefully use merch and concessions to pay for most of the stadium staff. At that point your TV revenue and everything past $80 per ticket or 20,000 per game you can muster is your profit. Obviously there’s more to it than that, but I don’t think a thriving basketball program in CNY will be unable to carry itself financially. There’s so much money on the table for a thriving basketball program. [/QUOTE]
