Something is off. I was curious to see where TCU was as I know they get a lot of bang for the buck.

I didn't see them??

These numbers have got to be incorrect. Tennessee is now filling their 102k stadium and 22k arena. Someone explain this to me.

Athletic Departments are run as non profits.. the accounting is legal book cooking deluxe. Kick backs to University admin and the revenue allocation back to the school via scholarship values are substantial.

Did anyone notice that Georgia has the 5th-highest revenue, but the lowest expenses of schools in the top 10? Good job, Dawgs.

Tennessee's the only school in the top 20 to operate at a loss. That'll change next year.

4 bad hires in a row

New coaching contracts run a high tab, too- but it is worth the investment. We are way ahead of where we were 5 years ago.

Nah. They've been off the books for awhile. This is due to Neyland upgrades and/or other weird one off reporting.

Interesting that Kentucky has more cash than Tenner.


Not surprising, VoLOL's don't have a Rifle team

UK = Top 20 in $$$$

UK = Can't get it done with Cal

Are you going to let go of this lame arse response about UK?

UK athletic department is doing quite well besides the fricking rifle team that you constantly bring up.

Don't expect that to last. At all. But basketball has always been a huge moneymaker for the Cats.

Damn Tennessee. Y’all have the best sports program as whole and taking a loss in the only thing that matters


The numbers will follow. I'm a little curious about the years these are based on bc even when we've sucked we still made bank. I have a feeling this is from suck years.

Margins are actually terrible. Especially when this doesn't include significant NIL money (for example).
