Just a random question I had with myself and honestly don't know the answer to. I would assume both hoops and bb are self sufficient in terms of funding. TIA

No baseball actually generates revenue and has for sometime.

If Beliema and Anderson were still here you could argue Baseball would be on the verge of subsidizing those programs.

nah. football subsidizes the school though. baseball and basketball are money makers for us. basketball especially when we're not terrible or have a new coach.

Thx gentleman. I had a hunch it was self supporting. Loking around the entirety of the SEC I can imagine there are several programs where all 3 sports aren't able to do so and have to dip from other sources.

Arkansas and LSU are self sufficient for sure. I would imagine Ole Miss and Mississippi State are too. SCAR was before they tanked.
