Just looking here: http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/
At the highest athletics departments by revenue, which is essentially all football revenue. It's not a new link, I know.

As I look at them, I see the cream of the crop in coaching staffs and facilities.

Except one.

RK
SCHOOL CONF TOTAL REVENUE TOTAL EXPENSES TOTAL SUBSIDY % SUBSIDY
1 Texas A&M SEC $192,608,876 $109,313,651 $0 0.00
2 Texas Big 12 $183,521,028 $173,248,133 $0 0.00
3 Ohio State Big Ten $167,166,065 $154,033,208 $0 0.00
4 Michigan Big Ten $152,477,026 $151,144,964 $263,345 0.17
5 Alabama SEC $148,911,674 $132,354,913 $2,616,895 1.76
6 Florida SEC $147,105,242 $125,384,443 $1,856,122 1.26
7 LSU SEC $138,642,237 $121,947,775 $0 0.00
8 Oklahoma Big 12 $134,269,349 $123,017,251 $0 0.00
9 Tennessee SEC $126,584,033 $113,413,325 $0 0.00
10 Penn State Big Ten $125,720,619 $122,271,407 $0 0.00


One stands out as one of the worst in it's conference and it constantly acts like it has the budget of a penniless Conference USA team. Can anyone explain why to me exactly?

Is anyone else surprised that we only have 1 million less revenue than Bammer at our disposal? Why do we make revenue like Bammer yet act like Vandy?

If you are still a booster, why? Why would you give money if it isn't going to be spent to improve the program? Who pockets the profit that clearly doesn't get spent on improving the football staff and facilities?

It's even worse because the gap between the rich and the poor is shrinking. We can't get away with bargain hunting anymore.

Foley called me a year ago to ask if I could get money market quotes from all the major banks. The goal was to up the rate by 0.002% to finance new badminton nets. I think we succeeded.

Yeah gambling away your money in the Gator sports casino. Since we fell from decades of ruling the Football kingdom, I'm strictly a "college of X" donor these days.

I would like to see the expense report before making a rash statement about Florida.

* The idea that just throwing money at a problem will solve the problem has never been an effective solution, never.

TAM is far ahead of the pack and yet they haven't won anything lately. Maybe they need to spend some of that 80 million profit on waterfalls in every players room to help them concentrate better.

I don't give a fack about non-revenue sports.

According to the Florida UAA budget - Football and the "short pants" sport are the ONLY two revenue producing sports.
Football is the lion share of course but basketball ain't no slouch - especially considering the expenses of the basketball program.

It was almost like a 5:1 ratio for Gator basketball - very profitable.

2015 - 2016 Basketball Net Revenue: ~$10.9 million in revenue with ~$2.1 million in expenses = aprox $8.8 million in profit.

(as always - I could be totally missing something in the report - so I posted the link below right after Swonkey's parting shot at basketball)

Lot of info to digest but after a quick glance, the Admin cost, 22%, seems too high...
