>... a radio contract ... $7 parking for the 9900 patrons ... The "U" doesn't, at least this year, have a radio contract that brings in any money (WCCO's last-minute deal was that they would pay all of the expenses for travel, which the "U" would previously have covered for talent and production staff). Also, parking money goes to Parking Services. The athletic department doesn't see a dime of that money. >One question that would be interesting to know is whether ice time >rental at Mariucci is counted as men's hockey revenue or overall >department revenue and if so whether all of the building's personnel >are charged to the men's hockey program. Fees for ice rental go into the Facilities budget. Facilities, like Academic Advising, does not report to either athletic department but is a part of athletics. If you look at all 23 sports, the total revenue generated is about $3 million. That money goes to pay for administration, support staff, etc., etc. ------------------------- Craig Roberts 2709 Terraceview Lane Plymouth, MN 55447 (763) 559-3950 [log in to unmask] _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
