They are under capacity and spent at capacity. Numbers are at rock bottom because the Vols are at rock bottom. They have no where to go but up. Even if they can get back to 8 win seasons that negative changes quickly. Ticket sales go up and donations go up. The point being made is they have already built their capacity and now must just pay it off. Put together a few 10 win seasons and that deficit goes quickly. 200 Million / 10,000 seats = 20,000 per seat 200 million / 20,000 seats = 10,000 per seat Don't get me wrong, if the Vols stay down for another decade or so it will hurt long term. The opposite hold true as well tho and they are built up already. What would it cost to get Mizzou to a 100K stadium and a 20K arena just to match the Vols capacity?
I don't have any numbers handy, but there is an obvious flaw in your analysis. A greater number of seats does note an a greater number in revenue. For football the gap is wide, but basketball you would also have to compare average seat ticket price.

When I say seats it is not just the seat but the add on to seat cost liked food / merchandise / parking / ect. If you have 50,000 at stadium A and 100,000 at stadium B then stadium B should sell much more stuff.

Agreed, but lower level women's basketball at Tennessee come with a "donation" of 1,000 per seat (in addition to the cost of the actual ticket of about 250) which is why I did not factor in the Tennessee Fund. How many Women's College Basketball seats in Mizzou sell for $1,250 per seat? Here is a LINK - Lady Vols Lower Level (does not include corporate suites on level 2) and Mizzou season tickets cost 50 bucks and no donation (except maybe courtside)
Lady Vols = $1,250 per seat
Lady Tigers = $50 per seat
Does this make it a bit clearer?
Mid Court seats for the Tennessee Men run
25,000 initial "donation" + 10,000 annual "donation" + annual cost of actual tickets
Lord, if you add in the K Fund for UK basketball you are talking really big numbers. Are you saying Mizzou basketball is anywhere near UK basketball for "true cost" of basketball tickets? The TSF may look expensive to Mizzou folks but it is dirt cheap when up against "legacy" football and basketball programs in the rest of the SEC.
Keep in mind, the previous post you quoted from did not include any "donation" money in the Tennessee Fund numbers.
