I believe 2021 is actually for the 2020-2021, the COVID year. The 2018 year would be CLF’s 2017 4-8 team. Overall we fare very well opposed to the rest of the AAC schools. I averaged the median of the schools who participated in this study over four years as well as UC’s numbers during that same time period. Some highlights:
Other Revenue-defined as compensation from third parties, game program, novelty, parking and concessions, sports camps and clinics, athletic endowments and other operating revenue
AAC Avg: $1,678,322.50
UC Avg: $7,207,672
Corporate Sponsorships- revenue from royalties, licensing, advertisements and sponsorships
AAC Avg: $4,763,181.70
UC Avg: $7,927,337
Donor Contributions
AAC Avg: $7,930,481.20
UC Avg: $8,909,570.50
Competitive Guarantees- revenue for buy-games and neutral site game
AAC Avg: $35,602.75
UC Avg: $727,553.75
NCAA Distributions, Media Rights, and Post Season FB
AAC Avg: $3,778,886.70
UC Avg: $7,802,426.70
Ticket Sales
AAC Avg: $1,731,671.20
UC Avg: $2,172,410
Institutional Support
AAC Avg: $18,971,814
UC Avg: $30,324,167.75
The one comparative measure that seems disparate to me is Ticket Sales, in that UC is so close to that conference average. I'll guess it's not a facility size limitation given we're in with schools with considerably smaller stadia and arenas in many cases. And I can't believe ticket revenue at places such as Temple and Tulsa compare favorably. If anything, it may suggest we are underpriced on tickets, which I believe is the case.
If we want to sustain P5 competitive results, ticket revenues have to increase.
Free student tickets (roughly 20% of the stadium) and incredibly affordable season and single game tickets contribute greatly to that. Also, I'd imagine having no football ticket revenue on the best year, to that point, that we had experienced in quite some time plus no basketball ticket sales for one of the years probably contributes to that number being closer to the average as well.
