where you getting these numbers from?

There are schools with more revenue than all the Mississippi schools combined. That is shocking.

At $35mil/yr Old Dominion would be near the top of CUSA

Northern Illinois University at $20,465,019, they're getting their money worth from the athletic dept.

word of advice, do not put special value into athletic budgets

Not really. Not trying to **** on my USM brothers and sisters, but Mississippi is consistently one of the poorest states in the nation.

Yes, but now that you're in C-USA you'd be wise to take note of USM's budget and their track record. Second to none, IMO.

We dump every single penny of our revenue back into the department, so we always spend 100% of our revenue as do many schools.

We actually budgeted around $27 million for last year, so I don't know whether it's good that we spent less than we budgeted for or that we brought in less than we expected to spend. Probably the latter. It looks like we brought in less due to weak ticket sales in football after that horrendous 2010 season.

THe worst feeling.. someone ran the numbers. The money the SEC gives Ole Miss and MSU puts them above us even after we add the money C-USA gives us.

If the conference money were removed, we're all actually pretty close to equal. If we had some of that type of money, it'd be amazing what our university could actually _do_.

In defense of USM:

Our "small" budget is funded largely by ticket sales and donations. There are a lot of schools in the 15-35 million range that rely on student fees. Some of these fees were voted on (OK but still not a great way to fund), and some were just mandated by administrators (bad). I've seen numbers that imply that our ticket sales revenue is more than double that of certain schools that are above us in revenue.

USM probably has more capital assets than any other school at or below our budget level. Facilities just aren't reflected in these numbers. In fact, the opposite is true. Rent paid is a big component of some schools' numbers. This is not necessarily a bragging point.

Our AD supposedly has a pretty concrete plan to get us to a $30 million annual budget. I don't really trust him, but IF he can do this we will end up having one of the best balance sheets in college sports. It won't be the biggest, but it will be huge by MS standards, and will also be sustainable.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but I keep seeing this $20 million figure tossed around as if it were a solid indicator of wealth, and it just isn't.

If you want to know what the real wealth of a school's sports program is, I'd suggest taking a hard look at ticket sales, facilities, and alumni giving. This is not just a pro-USM argument... I suspect that ECU exhibits a similar profile within their conference, e.g. the fact that Temple spends more per annum doesn't really make that much of a statement.

Look at some of those numbers & think about this -

The 2012 NFL salary cap was just over $120mil. There are how many teams & schools with $100mil + budgets?

Just think if more of that $$$ was used for education. How much lower tuition costs could be.

Yeah, but you can argue riffic.. that salary cap is STRICTLY for salaries. Not for other expenditures. (Front office, facilities, staff, etc.). Two entirely different monsters when comparing budgets.

And Andre, I agree $30M is a bit ambitious (IMO).. but I could see a slight bump up (say to $22-23M as being a reasonable get.)

Another important factor, overlooked in the figures, is the amount each school transfers from its general fund (taxpayer support) to cover annual athletic operating budget yet counts it as generated revenue. USM and La Tech, according the list, are nearly equal in "total revenue" but Tech took over NINE Million or over half of their 17MLLION revenue from schools general fund whereas USM transferred only about ONE million of its almost 20million. What that list of generated monies mean is that the schools had that much to spend on athletics but DID NOT CLEARLY notate or explain its source. "Generated " as used in this topic is misleading.

According to this link to the USA Today database, which purports to show per school athletic department breakdowns, USM gets student fees and school funds to the tune of about $8 million per year. That's still a bit less than many schools but not insignificant either.
