USA Today has released its database on revenue and expenses for athletics programs around the country, and Florida ranked third nationally with about a $20.1 million surplus in 2015-16.

The Gators had $141.4 million in total revenue, according to USA Today. Meanwhile, expenses were just $121.3 million.

The surplus of $20.1 million was the second-highest in the SEC, behind only Texas A&M ($57.3 million). Every SEC school that reported numbers (Vanderbilt is private and was not included in USA Today's database) recorded a surplus in 2015-16.

Florida's total revenue ranked 8th nationally. You can view how Florida stacked up nationally and within the league in 2015-16 below.

The Gators recently approved a $128.2 million budget for the 2016-17 athletics year.

In before ...
several of us start whining about the non-revenue and/or minimal revenue sports..."sucking on the teat of football and giving nothing back"

Well, here's a preemptive "please spare me your b*tching"

Maybe we can get a new coat of paint on the cinder block walls and some new drop ceilings.

So what happens with the money from a budget surplus? Does it get rolled over to next year? Immediately go to facility improvements?

I am happy that they used "surplus" not "profit" since these are non-profit organizations. The surplus in our case will be rolled over and eventually used probably for facilities. TAM has a large surplus due to raising money for their new football facility, they will have a lot of debt that our management insists on limiting. The SEC network is making money for us and others that have such an arrangement. The ACC is to get one soon.
