I was wondering the same about Mitchell... I looked him up but didn't see anything about him playing collegiately in the states. Just a lacrosse profile that says hes 21. He also has a highlight tape up, granted the competition doesn't look great but he looks pretty skilled.

Re: Rutgers 2023
He's very athletic. How that translates to a step up in comp and where he will fit remains to be seen, but the ability is there. Top tier D1 lacrosse is a step up from the Australian club league, though he does play in the best one.
I can see him playing a role at midfield. I know the RU guys at the U21's (Ross Scott/Shane Knobloch) are already working with him to try and get him ready.

I get power 5 spending on football, I really do. But there is just rampant misuse of funds by so many football programs.$450000 on door dash by football, it is very likely that is greater than (or very close to) mens lacrosse’s entire operational budget.

Getting $100 million a year is only so beneficial if 75% is paying off debt. It will widen the gap for places like Ohio State, Michigan, now USC in regards to football and basketball. All of this money will have only a minimal impact to lacrosse.

if someone is resigned to today's paradigm, it's not.
then again, a place like rutgers or ucla that's been allowed to go virtually unchecked in running up debt to compete, at the expense of other stakeholders -- the finger needs to be pointed at those allowing that. and that goes up the chain.

Re: Rutgers 2023
I spent nearly a decade in a power 5 athletic department, I get it .I’m saying that by running a 73million dollar deficit Rutgers would get a better rate of return by just investing their money in several funds rather than their football program. This windfall of money to the entire B1G will only cause Rutgers to increase spending on football to try and catch up with top power 5 teams. That may lead to larger deficits - that leads to more challenging conversations for the university.wgdsr wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 12:15 pmfootball drives the bus. if you're of the mindset (still) that college sports needs to be about academics, and amateurism... then it's just rampant misuse of funds.InsiderRoll wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 9:32 pmThanks, I’ve been under a rock.wgdsr wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 8:34 pmthey have a new teevee contract.InsiderRoll wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 8:12 pmIt would seem Rutgers really needs it .1766 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 18, 2022 12:50 pm Massive win for the Big Ten.

Re: Rutgers 2023
this was evident at the inclusion of rutgers and umd. given a propensity to do this and needing a lifeline to escape, unless a fundamental way of doing things changes, nothing does. kicking the can down the road. we have a (very) large organization that will do this until it pops.InsiderRoll wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 2:48 pmI spent nearly a decade in a power 5 athletic department, I get it .I’m saying that by running a 73million dollar deficit Rutgers would get a better rate of return by just investing their money in several funds rather than their football program.

Re: Rutgers 2023
Syracuse is going to need a lifeline to compete. If the benchmark is "turning a profit", there would be about 10 schools competing.
College sports are marketing. They should be no more expected to turn a profit than the philosophy department. Only they are more valuable in certain ways.
But if we are having an honest discussion, schools like Syracuse are in trouble. At least if they plan on competing at the highest levels.

Football obviously drives the bus. That's not going to change. The more interesting question is what is going to happen to programs not in the Big Ten or SEC? They are severely behind the eight ball when it comes to the financial game. The other interesting question is how do these additional funds impact so called Olympic sports like lacrosse at Big Ten schools not named Hopkins.

“ athletic director Gene Smith says this new broadcast deal will make accessing hoops and games in other sports different, but not necessarily harder. There could still be a partnership/package with ESPN for some hoops games, he said.”
Re: Rutgers 2023
no one said anything about turning a profit. the horse is way out of the barn on that one. athletics departments can't spend $$ fast enough on revenue coming in. their stock price doesn't rely on profit metrics. they'll put up a new building or add more admin staff for new dough that rolls in. then there's all the accounting shenanigans.1766 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 1:51 pm Syracuse is going to need a lifeline to compete.

ftr, pre-covid... syracuse brought in about $100 mill. and listed a $16 mill profit. i don't know how much of that was student fees, $$ shifting... but the hoops team alone made $20 mill on $35 mill in revenue. why? because it's a university town, there's nothing else to do in the winter, and they have a facility that allows for it.
but when you start talking about major debt and deficits, even while being funded by the state and the rest of the university, that's altogether different. because that doesn't go away magically. live within your means.
so let's say cuse several years down the road they have $40 million less per year than they otherwise could have, $140 vs 100. they're in a death spiral bc of that? their football team already would need a miracle to "compete" regularly. a number of other sports are well supported as philosophy. you think rutgers, or indiana, or minnesota or on and on in the b1g are in some kind of better position for what? football? they're going to topple tosu, mich, psu, wisco, usc in trying to compete there with the top dogs in conference?
anything's possible, but i say there's a chance that nfw will end up being the case for many teams in the b1g. have you seen what the revenue generated by actual sports sans conference payouts is at many of the b1g schools? what's going to be the impetus for that to change?
the focus on media deals as being the be all end all has reached silly season. ohio state is laughing at another $35 million. they do 200-250 already. that's before all the support they'll get for nil. indiana looks at that and says... now we'll be able to compete?
