$660,476

Cash payout from NCAA, "a one-time supplemental distribution of $200 million the NCAA is making to Division I schools in mid-April, according to a school-by-school distribution report compiled recently by the association."
 
I understand that ours is being withheld pending appeal. $300 for an illicit jersey in 2009 and $660,176 in penalties and repaid legal fees as required when going on probation after investigation.
 
Lowest amount of any school in the conference; but more than Vandy; seems about right.

Arthut Blank is paying us about 2x that much to use the field for the MLS team

Plus "a generous" split of gate and concessions

Does that money go to the Athletic Association or the Institute?
 
I still think the "orifice" design of MBS is beyond retarded.
  • Spent nearly a million bucks on a glass wall offering a view of downtown. Could have just had an open-air stadium.
  • Sunlight into the orifice is going to make the field painful to look at without very bright lighting: a bright circle surrounded by dark shade
  • We have little need for a dome in Atlanta weather. And if we did need one so badly, we had one.
  • 8 moving parts instead of 2 for the roof. High potential for embarrassment akin to the lights going out at the Superdome with no backup power.
  • Beijing's similar bird nest design has turned out to be a boondoggle of maintenance costs, decried even by its own designer. It's now a mostly-vacant museum to the Olympics.
  • Most importantly, it will lead to endless jokes about our team playing inside a sphincter.
 
What would you rather see; a basketball game at the tit or a football game at the asshole?
 
Welcome news for UNC - their legal and PR bills fighting the claims of academic fraud against them by the NCAA have now exceeded $18,000,000 dollars. Swofford might suggest all of the ACC schools pitch in their money to help our flagship school continue to defend its reputation as the place that balances academic and athletic excellence better than anyone else in spite of the hateful accusations the jealous hurl their way.

Hadn't kept up with this... I can't believe they made another dome. lol. In Atlanta. I thought everyone realized the dome was dumb. The amount of money and construction effort going into an architectural gimmick is sad for humanity.
 
They made a dome to host NCAA basketball title game and other large concerts
