Fellas, I’m genuinely bummed. When I went to warcth them against GCU way back in Feb…they just looked off.

Just give me a coach who can beat Pickle Smoochers and Omaha. That’s inexcusable and should never happen as consistently as it has been over the past few years.

We win the Big Ten tourney and make a regional one year and the next year we might miss the big 10 tourney and have a losing record

IMO, 2022 is okay due to what was lost from the 2021 team. 2023 no. 2025 no.

Regardless what happens with the current staff, Dannen has to increase the budget & get facility improvements announced then break ground immediately. We're so far behind the times it's pathetic.

lol investing money in baseball is a ridiculously stupid move.

4th biggest spender in the big 10 is good enough. And maybe too much

I'm glad @Herbie brought in Tony's graph...

Who are the current B1G members projected to make Regionals?

Per D1 Baseball
Ioa (#2 in 2023 spending)
UCLA (#5 in 2023 spending)
Oregon (#1 in 2023 spending)
USC (#3 in 2023 spending)

Michigan (#6 in 2023 spending) on the bubble, "first 4 out."
Washington (#4 in 2023 spending) on the bubble, "1 of 4 to watch."

Remember, the numbers in Herbs post are from 2023. All 4 West Coast teams have larger budgets now due to travel and I believe they're 1-2-4-5 in 2025 spending but don't hold me to it.

And taking this a step further:

B1G attendance (2023) - proof in spoiler below
Nebraska 5,117
Oregon 1,893 is the next best....

...but somehow, they can budget $1,160,000 more than us!? All while their football program made $7.1M less than Nebraska; 12-2 record v our 5-7.

2023 Nebraska baseball had the #10 overall average attendance in college baseball. Only 8 teams in the SEC beat us, and we drew more than anyone in the ACC, B12, SBC (sans USM), WCC, etc, etc. Yes, I understand the 2 graphs have slightly different attendance numbers.

But for some reason, we had the 45th budget in all of college baseball.

Nebraska Athletics sets revenue, spending records — with major bump for Matt Rhule’s football team

According to documents obtained through a public records request, Nebraska Athletics set records for both for revenue (more than $220 million) and expenses (more than $213 million).

At least by its previous standards, Nebraska Athletics met that challenge in the 2023-24 fiscal year. According to documents obtained through a public records request, the school set records for both for revenue ($220,165,405) and expenses ($213,456,031).

That’s a surplus of $6.7 million — 52% smaller than the 2022-23 fiscal year, when Nebraska brought in $204.8 million in revenue and spent $190.9 million.

Not to mention, I believe we were the most "profitable" AD in the P4, something like a $7M surplus...dispelling the popular myth, "Hurr we can't steal from football"...just give $2M of that to baseball, $2M of that to basketball and $3M more to football.

Everybody wins in that scenario.

In the last two years we had about $20M surplus...could have easily spent 3-4 on baseball and 3-4 on basketball.
