Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

The Pimp of Division 1 FB the Ncaa

I would have to say that the Ncaa made  millions dollars off of FB in 2009, so what did the schools get from them. They don't provide a championship system, they don't protect the teams and schools from anything. They just make up bad rules and extort money, kind of like that street gang making you pay for protection. So why don't the good FB schools just form there own league, pay the players and have a system that ends up in a champion. Let the Ncaa govern the rest of the sports, maybe they can handle that right.

I just figure that they have taken in that much, sorry I tried to research it but couldn't find any Revenue facts.

I figure all the money they recieve from TV, licensing of Merchandise, there logo etc. I mean I work for Trader Joes and they have about 300 stores and are way over 500 million a year with 6% positive cash flow.

LA Sports is what keep me off the streets and out of trouble, thanks to all the teams Rams, Dodgers, Lakers, USC sports and the Love of Tennis.

That just seems really high to me.

I can see the individual schools making that much, no problem, but that would seem a really excessive cut for the umbrella organization. My impression was that they got the great bulk of their money from the basketball tournament. But I’m not basing that on firm knowledge or anything.

I gladly give lots of my money to Trader Joes. Better food at lower prices than “regular” grocery stores is a great combination!

Thanks Dallas but I did say football so I just changed it to Millions, but I will say they are pretty close to BB in FB.

Think about just Ucla and USC how much they get from one weekend that the Ncaa keeps, I will bet that they have more money than most large Banks or Insurance companies.
