RE: $2 million to UC, via Marge

[Bart Neeb -ELMOS-NA-]

Does anybody know how much in television revenue UC will be losing out 
on next year? I can't imagine that the major networks (ESPN/CBS/etc...) 
are going to be high on giving national exposure to UC in near future.

And will WXIX continue to televise UC games if they are no longer a winner?

Please note I am assuming the worst. Hopefully for the player's sake, I 
am wrong.

A person on the NCAAbbs site reported....

"The Schott Foundation was to donate a total in the $10MM range to UC. 
The executors (4 of which includes Bob Martin, the director of the 
foundation) have decided to withhold the balance ($8MM) as they had lost 
faith in the current Administration to warrant such a large and 
significant donation. This information comes directly from one of the 
executors and may I add one angry gentleman. As I understand they will 
follow the direction of UC closely and will determine future donations 
as the situation unfolds."

So let's total this up....

$8 mil lost from Schott Foundation
$5 mil lost from another pulled donation (can't recall name but I'll 
look it up)
$3 mil Huggs buyout
$7.2 mil estimated minimum lost basketball game revenue over next two years
(5000 a game x 18 games x $40 a person x 2 years = $7.2 mil)

$23.2 mil TOTAL

Doesn't include lost UCATS donations, university donations, 
merchandising, advertising, etc etc etc.
