Auburn’s athletics department blasted past its previous record revenue set in the 2021-22 fiscal year by more than $20 million but did so with a significantly decreased profit and higher institutional support payments, according to a copy of Auburn’s 2022-23 revenues and expenses report obtained by AL.com in a public records request.



Last year, Auburn saw a significant increase in severance payments, cutting into its previous record profit. That is largely because Auburn fired previous head coach Bryan Harsin one month into the 2022-23 fiscal year so payments owed to him were not factored into the previous year’s report.

Auburn owed $19.8 million in severance payments in 2022-23 compared to $8.2 million in the previous cycle.



Auburn reported $32.3 million in ticket sales for 2023, down from $34.1. million. That decrease came almost entirely from football, which dropped from $30 million to $28.7 million.

Weak attempt. Didn’t cover this complete football season when season tickets were at an all time high. Auburn is doing just fine.

Now, how much did you have to payout to buy DeBoer from Washington?

Auburn already hired and fired its Harsin. Alabama just hired theirs so you have a few years before you get a pervert head coach who doesn’t coach bowl games.

Paid them all off and still made a profit!

Athletic Offices are in the business of making profits anyway. If you are making big profits, you aren't spending enough. And yes, paying off coaches hurts because you could be spending that elsewhere.

And that buyout was the best money we have ever spent as a University.

$20 million in the hole means 20 more years of looking at this.

Do we need to loan you some money to build the new arena or payoff the baseball gambling debts?

Fired Harsin and still made 3.2 mill? That's a win.

You know, if Auburn is hiring, I'm available for a few million.

Their seasons would turn out about the same, so what's to lose?
