He added that the University con-
tinues to benefit from last year's
national championships. But "as
people tend to focus on the next
year,' Goss said, those benefits will
dwindle.
Goss also said he does not expect to
receive the same amount in merchan-
dising royalties.
Last year's national champi-
onships pushed those numbers to
record levels
Last fall, the seven-game football
season brought in $15.4 million, while
the upcoming six-game season is
expected to generate $13.9 million.
Goss said many operating expens-
es are high - especially coaches'
salaries.
He added that the University is
not expected to attend as lucrative a
bowl as last year's Rose Bowl, and
the budget reflects this by not
including such a trip.
Construction on the Michigan
Stadium continues to progress.

Theteats in the stadium will be
finished in time for the football sea-
son, Goss said, along with the score-
boards and video screens.
"It's really turning out to be an
incredible stadium," Goss said.
He added that eventually,
University games could be broad-
cast on the Internet.
Goss said it will also be possible to
recapture archives of past games.
Goss said the University may be able
to makea deal with One-on-One Sports
to broadcast University football games
across the country.
"All 12 games will be on national
radio," Goss said. "Only Notre
Dame has a whole season on nation-
al radio."
Goss said the proposed budget will
reflect an increase in radio and televi-
sion revenues.
In addition, the University will
generate funds from the new video
system.
As part of the operating budget,
hockey tickets will now cost $17, $14
and $12.
Basketball tickets will cost $5 and
$3.
