So is:
- Being #1 in all-time WINS
- 8 National Championships
- 49 SEC Titles
Can someone explain the Memphis Tiger fanbase to me?...
- Thread starter AuHoosier420
- Start date
So is:
And yet your football program. An historic bottom feeder of the sec makes more than your basketball
Program. The UK athletic department should thank the football powers in the SEC for the nice undeserved payout each year.
What about the Bill Russell effect?
You did say Wilt didn't play anyone
But you now are saying that an alpha can carry a team...
Barkley is a great player and great announcer and does a lot for Auburn.
But even then Auburn is still a football school.
Kansas, Kentucky and UNC.
This is their thing. You should understand with Indiana in your name as well.
I didn’t ever claim auburn was on that level with those 3. I specifically responded to a point that we weren’t ever talked about. That was a factually incorrect statement as I pointed out
JFC these threads are a chore to read.

The comebacks on this board are literally as weak as it gets. Step up your game. This is terrible
The messed up thing is Kansas probably has a better football player than Auburn as well
Dunce cap fits you well. Football makes more money in general. Look no further than seating capacity in football stadiums. Good grief.
You need to tighten up your game 420. The only thing fake here is Auburn hoops, haven’t won anything, won’t win anything.
It is the TV contracts .
Regular season basketball is worthless.
Now if the conferences can get the money from the NCAA Tournament it would be different
Gale sayers eas a damn good player. I will still take a healthy bo Jackson though
Football is not making more money do to seating the stadiums. Football also plays about a third of the home games as basketball.
Only a small part.
Works both ways. It allows the NCAA to host tournaments in the non revenue sports.
But ultimately they get the majority of that money
Schools sued in the early 1980's and were given their TV rights in football
Before the 1980's I am not sure what brought in more money
Since the late 1980s the difference is huge.
NCAA makes zero dollars from football
Makes 200+ million in basketball
I agree with this. Football even with the ncaa getting a cut would still make more money though. It’s the far more popular sport
The difference is in the regular season.
Conferences own the TV rights in both but one makes all the money and the other doesn't.
If the NCAA didn't exist and we just have the P5 or even the P4 all that money can go to the conferences and therefore the schools
Kansas, Louisville and any other school under the gun from the NCAA in basketball should threaten this.
I have always said at some point that the power 5 schools are going to leave the ncaa. They really have zero need for the ncaa.
the government is probably the only thing preventing them leaving.
Not a “comeback”, bubby. You’ve posted about 10K words of unintelligible drivel in this thread and you’re trolling a dozen people into trying to make sense of any of it.
I am just stating facts bro. On the trolling aspect. You can hate the game all you want.
I'm still laughing at AU fans laughing at Memphis States trophy case.
said no one ever. Memphis is a mid major that generates about a third of the athletic revenue Auburn does annually.
Yeah it is. You cherry picking eras on how certain players would do is laughable. Like players can choose what era they can play in. Barkley was good but he's not better than Wilt, Kareem, Shaq etc. Auburn has no basketball history and with one notable alumn that should be proof enough.
You have an unusual opinion.
Plus it is yours.
Majority of the so called experts have Wilt as a for sure Top 10 and a lot of the times a Top 5.
Charles is more Top 50 and Top 20 by some..

Chuck Person had a decent career. Before Reggie he was the main scorer on the Pacers.
Can't really remember anyone else off the top of my head.
I’d be willing to bet that Memphis State has more basketball history than Auburn. Just a hunch.
They are the team who fate took away their NC before the NCAA could.
They ran Texas off the court in that Elite 8. Plus that game was in Houston.
Auburn got by on luck in their recent run.
Memphis was just an elite team. That KU team was really the first that heart checked them in the tournament
I forgot about "The Rifleman". And you're right, those 2 are the only ones that did anything notable in the NBA.
got by on luck? LOL. We basically went through the hardest path to the final 4 in history. Who else has had to beat Kansas, unc, and UK in a row to get to the final 4? The top 3 in wins all time. The Kansas and unc games were also blow outs. Gtfo with that bs.
You are the one comparing yourself to Memphis...
They care about basketball. Memphis is a basketball city.
This has been the case since before I remember.
Because you are pretty much disrespecting them on here I am going to do the same to Auburn.
If Auburn can reach the level of Memphis I will give them credit.
Once Auburn starts losing again people will go back to football. Memphis B Ball fans stick with their team.
