Tyler - Mississippi College

Just a quick background- I played college tennis at MC and I am still pretty heavily involved with the program. My wife also used to work in the athletic department and was heavily involved with the football program and budgets. None of that matters, except to say I genuinely have been confused on how to feel about them getting rid of the program.

I listened to M&S and had a few questions about the money and budgeting you talked about.

On your 1.7-2m figure does this include travel, salaries for university staff (fundraising, compliance, sports media, marketing , etc) stadium cost during game days, food for football players on game day/travel days, equipment?

As an example- I know they do not have buses large enough for the team and had to rent out travel buses every away game that were monumentally expensive as they don’t have an athletics bus large enough for football.

Again, not saying you are wrong. Likely, you are right. Just genuinely curious as I might be one of the few on here somewhat “invested” in the school if you will.

A little history- 1969 Ole Miss.

Started the season in the top 10. Easily beat Memphis State to open the season. Then we lost to a lowly Kentucky team and then lost by 1 point to Alabama in Birmingham. That was Archie’s 549 yard game. We then went on to beat Tennessee, Georgia and LSU, all top 10 teams. Went to the Sugar Bowl and beat Arkansas, a team with had one loss, to undefeated Texas who won the NC that season, on a long pass that was a desperation throw. Texas was a wishbone team and seldom threw the ball. Arkansas dominated most of the game.

Point is, they overcame an early ugly loss to Kentucky.
