RE: 2016-7 NCAA Athletic Department Revenue for the P5 and the next 15 Highest G5
The mean (average) revenues for the most part are similar to the median revenues. However, the influence of Texas on the Big 12 numbers is significant. Their median revenue of $91K is more in line with the PAC and the ACC, which is what one would expect.

The big question mark is at what point do greater revenues no longer translate to better on field performance. Is there a point where more spending just doesn't produce any more wins? Don't the laws of diminishing returns start to kick in?

And if you reach such a point, what are the schools doing with the "excess" revenues?

This is the third thread I've seen, in what feels like the last two weeks, of people posting almost identical OP's with regard to the newly updated 2015-16 reporting year data on the EiA database ....

The data is for 2016-7 Bison. The USAToday report probably won't be available until the end of this month or the first of April.

Last year the SEC earned about 6 or 7 million more than the Big 10 on average. It's nearly 13 million this year. Plus one of the interesting parts of the analysis related to the Big 10 is that the bottom teams slipped in earnings the top teams increased, and the middle's improvement was slight.

The SEC schools with the exception of Missouri and Mississippi State all moved up. Georgia didn't move up as much.

I don't think greater revenues impact performance as much as many think. If it impacts anything it might be some recruiting as new facilities with bells and whistles, not to mention water cascades (see Alabama) are added.

What it does do is keep a constant strain on present alignments.

TV money is not the biggest factor although it is the most frequently touted measuring stick on talk forums. The real difference is in athletic department giving, ticket costs, requisite donations for the opportunity to purchase tickets, size of venues, and number of home games. Throw in merchandising, particularly in a good year and that's where the differences mount up.

Even if the Big 10 gets a 5 million boost in TV revenue over the SEC (which would require them doubling the projected amount they would still be 7 million behind the average SEC revenue total due to the aforementioned. What keeps the ACC lagging besides a deficit presently in TV revenue is the average size of venue. You guys are leaving a lot of money on the table because so many of your schools are in more populated areas where the cost of building a larger facility is either prohibitive or impractical due to availability of land in proximity to the school. Your network will put you in 3rd position.

Affirmative it is 15-16 figures, but they are revised over what was released last April by other services.

As to multiple posts there are two. The focus of this one was comparative. The other is informational.

Tulane at more "revenue" than Houston or Cincy tells you all you need to know about these numbers.


It is probably more representative of budgets than revenues.


Private schools have much higher tuition costs than state schools. Tuition costs affect budget size.

Yeah. We should have another speculative thread about how UConn should join the Big East, or Houston and BYU should join the Big 12, or UMass and JMU join the MAC, or the Big 12 dissolves and everyone lives happily ever after, or the WAC revives as an FBS conference.

WE definitely don't need more than one thread with actual facts in it.

I think it's unlikely that any athletic department at any school, public or private, is giving a check to the university general fund in the amount of (athletic scholarships) x (tuition that would be paid if each scholarship athlete paid full price). Full price at most top private schools is between $40,000 and 50,000/year. Most FBS schools are giving out the equivalent of about 200 full scholarships. (Stanford is at the high end and claims it's about 300 for them.)

For a private university giving out 200, at $45,000 per that would mean a check for $9 million every year going from the athletic department accounts into the university general fund. Is that happening? Or are athletic departments merely entering that amount on their books on both the expense side and revenue side, with no money moving from one account to another?

There's no point. The revenue drops below 40 million after those I listed. Besides I included the top 13. Really the break of significance is around the 66 to 67th position. That's more or less the Mendoza line for consideration. When a P conference like the ACC or PAC has a mean of 87,000,000 or 89,000,000 million there really isn't anyone out there other than perhaps UConn or remotely B.Y.U. that could merit inclusion. The idea being of course that you have to be able to add to someone's bottom line to get the invite. With the market model fast collapsing in favor of content multiplier additions Connecticut and B.Y.U. will distance themselves even more from the others, IMO.

And as to the site we used here no it would not have been complete. But USAToday and others will jump the gun with early numbers that are incomplete. And if you wait and watch they will do it again this year. Those are frequently the ones that get the most attention around here, and then in June they are usually revised but with much less fanfare since you have to check by conference and school at the more reliable sites (too much work for the average poster).

Is that happening? Or are athletic departments merely entering that amount on their books on both the expense side and revenue side, with no money moving from one account to another?

Tuition is an expense item. Not a revenue item. Go to the website where the OP got his numbers and you will see that $17M of SMU's $57M budget is for scholarships. Compare UH at $7M in athlete tuition.

Now, I doubt SMU athletics makes out a check for $17M to the school.

Rather, what happens is this: all the expenses are added together, including athlete tuition and cost of attendance along with coaching salaries, etc. All the revenues from outside sources and student fees are added together (ticket sales, donations, licensing, conference revenues, student fees etc.).

The difference is the amount of the school subsidy of the athletic department.

I agree with you that accounting for athlete's tuition is kind of bogus in this regard: it doesn't cost much to have an extra 400 kids going to classes that would already be held in their absence. The marginal cost is almost nil aside from room and board.

So it's a bit unfair that the athletic department has to count the full value of tuition for each athlete as an expense item. And it inflates the "subsidy" needlessly.

But those are the rules of the game.

I was just being a smartass about the number 16 G5 school because it's Old Dominion, which interestingly enough reported 43 million in the prior period. The drop is likely due to accounting changes in the state of VA. But you're wrong about the USA Today database. As we discussed in the other budget thread they get thier numbers from the NCAA reporting done by schools and as far as I know haven't released 15-16 numbers. Last April they released 14-15.

Affirmative it is 15-16 figures, but they are revised over what was released last April by other services.

As to multiple posts there are two. The focus of this one was comparative. The other is informational.

15-16 year wouldn't have been complete last April. And if you're going to be comparative you should include the top 16 G5 schools.

There's no point. The revenue drops below 40 million after those I listed. Besides I included the top 13. Really the break of significance is around the 66 to 67th position. That's more or less the Mendoza line for consideration. When a P conference like the ACC or PAC has a mean of 87,000,000 or 89,000,000 million there really isn't anyone out there other than perhaps UConn or remotely B.Y.U. that could merit inclusion. The idea being of course that you have to be able to add to someone's bottom line to get the invite. With the market model fast collapsing in favor of content multiplier additions Connecticut and B.Y.U. will distance themselves even more from the others, IMO.

And as to the site we used here no it would not have been complete. But USAToday and others will jump the gun with early numbers that are incomplete. And if you wait and watch they will do it again this year. Those are frequently the ones that get the most attention around here, and then in June they are usually revised but with much less fanfare since you have to check by conference and school at the more reliable sites (too much work for the average poster).

If these are the most current then it doesn't matter then does it?

The AAC has done wonders for the development of our athletic program. It's almost incredible that Tulane is at #69 nationally after decades of ignoring their program.

I think the great divide is in the overall subsides the schools outside of the G5 receive in terms of percentage of athletic budget. Those numbers are absolutely staggering. The G5 (for the most part) schools could trim fat and run with zero subsidies if it were to actually ever come to that...the ones outside of the G5 would be in big trouble without the subsidy.

It wouldn't affect many of the top 25 or 30, but there are definitely some in the second tier of the P conferences it might affect. And it depends on what a subsidy is. Athletic attendance fees paid by students so that they can buy $5 football tickets doesn't account for that much at the SEC schools that show a subsidy, and in our conference that's what the subsidy usually is. Alumni have to donate between $800-$1200 just for the privilege of buying a pair of season tickets at $550 each in the end zones and in the ends of the upper decks. The minimum contribution is even more for better seating groups and we aren't even talking sky boxes (start at $100,000) or scholarship or half scholarship seating.

And given your market and AAU status if that keeps improving it could yet bode well for further advancement.

This is kinda what i'm talking about. Like UCONN for instancem 38% of the budget is subsidized in some fashion. The schools outside of the G5 are totally dependent on those subsides..I suspect most of this model is entirely different than what the G5 subsides are. I'm sure raising student fees is basically a large part the subsidy is....some of these athletic budgets are 40/60/70% subsidized. Least that an educated guess...I guess what i'm saying is the great divide is when some are below 10% and other are at and way above 40%.

Not sure what year this is but within the last 3 I think. Nothing much, if at all, would have changed since then in terms of the percentages. The figures are staggering I think.
