Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
If the football team wins out, they will be 7-5 and squarely on the bubble.
How nice would it be to have an extra win over Bryant or Wagner or something, and not a loss to Liberty? 8-4 in the CAA is in. 7-5 is dicey. STOP SCHEDULING TWO FBS GAMES.

I think 7-5 will be seen as 7-3 vs D1AA and in. I think the UNH game will essentially be a play-in. I’m just glad Sacred Heart’s a D1, if they’d scheduled a D2 there they’d be cooked with only 6 D1 wins
Maine Hockey: I want to believe
43-21-4 (.662) in games I attended over 4 years as a student
104-47-14 (.669) in that time
3x FROZEN FOUR
11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)

I stand by my position that if Maine can't afford football without being a bodybag twice in one season, Maine shouldn't be playing football.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
Didn't football pocket around 1.3 million for those two FBS games..?
I hear what AMC says in terms of W/L, but Bosox is correct in saying that the FCS selection process reliably ignores FBS losses. (And Maine has won a few FCS games, too... Not exactly sacrificial lambs in that regard.)
Bottom-line: I'd have to guess that football has/will make more than hockey this season, and it still is breathing.

Originally posted by Sean Pickett View PostI recall reading about Maine's athletic spending back in the spring in the previous thread. Therefore I created a spreadsheet with all of Maine's NCAA financial information for 2010-18 and posted the link. Since it is being brought up again I thought I would repost the link. The football program has brought in between 250 thousand (2011) and 725 thousand (2016) in guarantees, but the guarantees have only accounted for 10-17% of reported revenue. Furthermore, while football has shown an overall profit for 2016-18 that is due to an increase in direct institutional support of over $1 million per year compared to 2010-15. When institutional support is not counted as revenue the football team has lost between $2.6 and $3 million per year. In fact, no sports team as had an earned profit for for any year and the athletic department has had an earned loss between $9.8 million (2010) and $14.5 million (2018) each year which has been covered by institutional support.

Re: Maine Black Bears 2019-20: Seeing Red
If Maine doesn’t have football, what do they do to meet Title IX compliance in the scholarship department? Cut 63 women’s scholarships? Add men’s sports? Do the alternatives for football lose more money than football already does? What about the income that comes from tuition and fees from the 30+ football players not on scholarship?

Also, are you assuming that those 30 spots in the student body will NOT be filled by 30 other students who will also pay about $500,000? Those spots will just go empty?

No.
That's what? $500,000? Assuming they don't get ANY financial assistance from the university (yeah, right) then we can factor that into the $2-3 million the university would save by not having football.
