Numbers when it comes to that are very tricky. Many report making nothing to hide revenue to avoid different things that go with it.

I'm sure they're making money. I'm also sure they'd like to cut expenses.

Increase profits while decreasing costs? You don't say.

If they were interested in playing a subset of teams for the sole purpose of keeping expenses low......they would not have left the Valley.

Once you charter a plane, another half hour on the flight isn't really that expensive in the grand scheme.

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.

FYI, 2014-15 season. $290k additional travel expense. $3M additional ad revenue, not counting NCAA$$.
Profit will always show $0. Goes in general fund.

Valpo and Oakland upgraded, Chicago St fell in the toilet, and now the Indiana schools are stuck. Both would take the Horizon immediately, and I do wonder if they would approach the OVC if that doesn't happen. But even that, I don't think the OVC would do it. They're both really desperate for the Horizon to want them.

Oh there will be Domino's falling.... will be an interesting few weeks/months.

and like Dave Reynolds said "Those 4 MVC visits are just the initial ones".... will there be more??

It's called a deflection.

The visits are over and only the four mentioned wee visited and the article says only those visited will be considered. So, Valpo, Murray, Omaha, and Milwaukee are it. God, I hope there is a surprise.

Surprise, they are adding Valpo and Murray State and staying at 11 for now!

Maybe they can let Ryan pace make the decision. At least I'll be surprised!
