Or that $20M (which isn't $20M in profit, but revenue) pays off the previous two coaches.


It does not matter, those were rough numbers and the Tennessee Fund was not included. You can argue issues till you are blue in the face but I look at income and cash flow.

Neyland was up to 104.0K before they dropped back to 102.5 and have been the alpha dog in capacity in the SEC for quite some time. TB was 25.5K before they did the corporate suites but still seat 21.5K which means they are #2 behind Rupp. Faurot is listed at 67K now and slated to 77K by 2015. Mizzou arena seats 15K. These capacities are all known and even if the Tigers SOLD every football and basketball game (men and women) they still can not sell tickets for capacity that does not exist.

On top of this the Vols have "brand" value in all sports that sell their facilities.

# 8 Tennessee Football = 629,752 (and the Vols are at rock bottom)
#24 Missouri Football = 472,333
629,752 - 472,333 = 157,419 Vols over Tigers attendance
(viewed another way Mizzou would need 2.35 more SOLD OUT home games to equal Tennessee)

# 8 Tennessee Basketball = 314,321
#3? Missouri Basketball = 201,117 (Texas was #30 with 215,097)
314,321 - 201,117 = 113,204 Vols over Tigers attendance
(viewed another way Mizzou would need 7.55 more SOLD OUT home games to equal Tennessee)

# 1 Tennessee Women Basketball = 205,027
#91 Missouri Women Basketball = 27,929
205,027 - 27,929 = 177,098 Vols over Tigers attendance
(viewed another way Mizzou would need 11.81 more SOLD OUT home games to equal Tennessee)

Tennessee has some structural inefficiencies and other issues which will impact its ability to move forward.


What are these inefficiencies? They have 3 solid brands in their portfolio which gets them national exposure and provides national content for media values.

edit for correct positions for women's basketball attendance.

You need to figure out a way to type way less. This isn't your personal blog. You write multiple paragraph responses to everything.

Or just Google "Tennessee athletic budget". Whatever you want.

The athletic department spends a startling $21 million a year on debt payments, $13.5 million of which comes from the school’s stressed $99.5 million athletic budget and the rest from donations.


Sounds efficient.
