take that x 3 for just mens basketball then factor in all the other sports too. Creighton doesn't make that much more than a valley team and that website proves it. look at texas a&m. their football is 43.4 million revenue. valley teams are all 0 profit in sports and so is Creighton. that means their sports revenue come from a percentage of student fees that goes towards athletics, licensing, sponsorships, and donors. how much do you think that really is? $10-million at most. Probably less. I don't get why its so hard to believe Creighton would like to cut costs across the board, not just travel to increase profits. Its not like theyre texas a&m who make 100-million in revenue per year. theyre a mid market school without a football team. im sure its more difficult than you realize. they have said the travel is tough. I bet they would welcome st. Louis and Dayton with open arms. you act like Creighton basketball makes $20-million and funnels it all back into mens basketball and that's just not how it works.
