Oh, and last time I checked, Yum doesn't get any extra exposure because it is the "only game in town." They play just as many games as UC and have the same number of opportunities for people to see the name "Yum" on television. Last edited by JasonS; 01-13-2014 at 02:41 PM. |

UC needs a state of the art arena to compete at the highest level. Unfortunately, they already tapped the donors for the football stadium and do not have a lot of money from the TV contract.

Love the part of the article where he lists all the coaches who have private jets and then he says EVEN Chris Mack has one, thought it was funny the way he
put it. |

If we aren't going to get enough donations to renovate the arena...it would be nice for the time being to just put a little more into the budget to help with marketing, promotions, getting better games at home, private jet allowance for Cronin, etc. Those are small dollars compared to a new arena.
Then if Cronin can get us in the top 10 or final 4 it will be an easier sell for the big bucks needed to renovate. |

The problem with a new bball arena is that UC doesn't have much room to create a revenue stream with a new arena. We already have luxury suites at 5/3rd, granted they are horrible, but they are there. Building a new basketball arena is a cost that is harder to swallow for the athletic program because it's never going to give you the opportunity to pay for itself. You're never going to get enough private donations to completely pay for the cost of building a brand new arena. Obviously we need a new arena and hopefully we'll get one within the next 10 years. In the mean time, I'd love to see the athletic program do some things in the short term to increase the experience at 5/3rd. Put in better lighting, LED banner lights and scoreboards, and improve the audio system. I would imagine that type of upgrade could be done for less than 5 million dollars and it would go a long way towards making the experience better for the fans. I agree about the plane, Mick needs that and hopefully the university will respond. This is the reason why UC needs to get into another conference. Just think what our athletic program could do with the $20-25 million yearly income we'd receive just for being a part of the Big12 or ACC. Last edited by UCBearcats; 01-14-2014 at 08:42 AM. |
