As i noted in the OP, that's something that makes USF's no-subs revenue of $24m even sadder than it looks. We're getting about $5m in extra BExit money per year right now than schools like UCF and Memphis, and they are still beating us in revenue by $7m+ per year.

Why is UCF doing so much better? Was it bigger longer, or is there something else going on?

The common view is that versus UCF, it's UCF's on-campus stadium, and given that other numbers, such as attendance, are very close, I tend to agree with that. UCF controls and owns revenue streams that USF, being a tenant of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, doesn't.

It's a problem for us.

Now Memphis is harder to explain, because IIRC, they rent from the Liberty Bowl like we do. Their attendance at football and basketball has been significantly higher than ours has recently, though.

Basketball makes a huge difference in Memphis. UConn, Cinci, and Memphis all generate a nice chunk of change with thier basketball programs. UConn does pretty well with women's basketball---that's an income stream few schools have,

Yep, even with their recent slump, Memphis hoops still generates way, way more money than does USF hoops. It's a problem for us.
