Purdue-FW just announced that it is cutting $6+ million from next years budget...this will include dropping men's baseball and women's softball programs effective immediately
This is nil realities and rev sharing rearing its ugly head. Many high major athletic programs are only cutting their budgets and their staff. Mid-major schools are going to be forced to cut sports to fund the big red machine
Agree on the general concerns and that they are dire for mid-majors.
But what is the Big Red Machine? George Foster and his guys (all at or near HoF caliber) could only dream about NIL money.

The machine is the conglomerate of the football and/or basketball programs of the schools.
