The link is Sportico's 2019-20 FBS public school data base.
Like all reporting of athletics revenue and spending, this data has serious - maybe even fatal - flaws that make comparisons useless. For example, Florida State's revenues include almost $29 million classified as "miscellaneous". That's more than 22% of their total reported revenues. Clearly, there should be more line items broken out from this huge bucket, which makes one wonder what they don't want readers to know about their activities.
Here are FSU's revenues compared with UConn's (000's):
Source...........................FSU..........UConn
Donations.....................36,758........
960
Media, Conf & NCAA.......30,987......6,384
Ticket sales...................17,342......8,904
Licensing & ads..............15,404....12,263
Miscellaneous................28,754.....10,494
Institutional support...........
206.....36,951
But, flaws notwithstanding, it's hard to see how and why these two institutions are competing at the same level.
