re: LSU is officially a non revenue sports school

LSU sports generated $3.8M in sports revenue surplus in FY25 and $1.8M in FY24. By comparison, Alabama sports generated $32.7M in sports revenue surplus in FY25 but -$27.9M in FY24. Thus LSU is more profitable in sports revenue than Alabama over last 2 years $5.6M vs $4.8M

No wonder Louisiana is in such horrible shape financially. Below are LSU’s own financials which show you are wrong.

LSU’s athletic department generated a whooping $28,000 profit for the last fiscal year 2025. Football and men’s basketball were the only profitable programs within the athletic department. Look at the bottom right number to see what LSU’s profit was - $28k. LSU athletics made less last year than a garbage man makes.

More troubling is that LSU listed $65 million in liabilities but only $30 million in assets, putting them $35 million in the hole.




LSU’s Official Athletic Department Financials for FY25

Thank you for proving the OP wrong for me, even by your numbers LSU is a revenue sports school.

LSU is one of the most prominent and successful sports universities on the planet valued at over $1B. We will continue to generate great value and revenue for generations to come in Louisiana. We will be building a new basketball arena soon and renovating our baseball stadium, projects costing hundreds of millions of dollars.

And now they’re mid in football, will be ranked lower than LSU, and it eats their absolute souls because this is the most important thing in their lives.

Many a death, DV and tree poisoning is in their future

Sports revenue and profit is determined by the NCAA Financial Reports that each school publishes each year that I have referenced.
Alabama uses the same as do all NCAA institutions.

If you really dig, you’ll realize that athletic admin revenue is being pumped in from the univ general fund. That number was sub 1 million every year pre-NIL

I truly can't comprehend the level of brokenness that some of you have reached, to the point that you're desperately poring over financial reports from the athletic departments of various universities in hopes of scoring Internet "gotcha" points.

LSU fans should try it so they will quit making fools of themselves claiming college baseball generates a profit.

LSU fans have been crowing for months now about how much money they have. But when you actually look at their financials you see their credit cards are maxed out and they are making minimum wage.
