    Yeah...what a waste of time and legal fees they'll pay. I wonder how much they would of made? A garbage team like Grambling? I bet more people want to see their band then their horrid team. Jackson State should take up a collection on the street...they would probably make more since Grambling was letting mold grow on weightlifting equipment

    Grambling has virtually no money
    No money leads to bad athletic conditions
    Bad athletic conditions lead to forfeiture
    Forfeiture leads to loss of money for Jackson St

    That's like suing a homeless man. They will never see a dime.

    Grambling had told the public that they are completely broke.

    Yet Jackson State sues them

    The whole reason for this was a 57% cut in school funds that happened last year. Colleges aren't broke, even colleges like this. You sure can sue them, and JSU has a case. Money from ticket sales (they actually do more ticket sales than a number of FCS schools because of the band), concessions, parking, TV/radio revenue (yes, there is some here), all of it was lost because poor little Grambling didn't want to pway wast week.

    They got stuck with 10,000 rotten watermelons, 1,000 bottles of Hennessey, 100 pounds of weed, and 5,000 pounds of defrosted chicken wings.

    Other than the weed which has mysteriously disappeared since then, you can't blame em trying to get some of that money back.

    With state schools, the state itself decides how to allocate the money. Without the right political sway, certain schools could get the shaft, and that looks like that's what happened here. A 57% cut?? They're lucky the school didn't sell the weights for scrap.

    Endowments play a part too because that frees up booster money to go straight to athletics if you want it to, so turning out successful people plays a part. Undergrad-wise, Grambling has about the same enrollment as Wake Forest does. Grambling's endowment? 4.5 million. Wake's? 1 billion. Yep.

    No, Grambling is pretty broke. They're lucky if they can even pay the salaries of the school employees.

    The university did not not want to play. The players boycotted playing.

    Big difference but I imagine the university is still culpable.

    They claim to have lost in excess of a million.

    In other news I needed a good laugh.

    A million isnt an astronomical figure when you consider it was their homecoming. Their losses would include other events that were booked for homecoming- concerts, dances, etc that were subsequently cancelled. I dont think theyre saying they lost a million in profit. Theyre saying they lost a million in revenues.
