What percentage of revenues is earned from game day operations? I’d imagine that percentage is shrinking with the influx of TV money.

100% this.

I think NU does give a shit on what color shirt the fans wear. The problem is the they need to pay more money to talented marketing and sales professionals that can develop an actual successful business model instead of being cheap and hiring fresh faced inexperienced kids.

I think this depends on who you ask. I think Phillips cared a lot, and I bet he was instrumental in downsizing the # of seats in the stadium knowing that the more seats there are, the more fans from Iowa, Ohio State, and our other B1G relatives in the midwest/driving distance will come for their periodic weekend in Chicago. I think his goal was to downsize, get purple butts in seats and keep them there. Perhaps with a different sitting president or AD at the time this call was made, they would've opted for 50K+ and gladly taken the money from visiting fans at the detriment of program optics.

NU @ UM Prediction Thread

Last week the Cats were competitive for three quarters, including offensive volleying with #15 Indiana. The Hoosiers pulled away at the end, but the Cats showed significant improvement against B1G level competition from their game in Seattle two weeks before.

This week the Cats travel to their first non-lakeside game this season in College Park. Maryland is 3-2, also with a loss to Indiana in their last game by a similar score and also winless in B1G play. With the offense starting to synch and the return of Carmine Bastone, is it nuts to think the Cats could get to an even 3-3 at the halfway mark? I think not.
