The Louisiana Legislative Auditor has concluded their agreed upon procedures for a few of the athletic departments in the state for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. I'll leave out LSU and the FCS schools as they just are not good to compare to.
UL
Revenue: $21,297,114
Expenditures: $21,542,643
LA Tech
Revenue: $19,277,701
Expenditures: $19,239,017
ULM- not posted yet. I will update when it is (hopefully within the next week or two)
For comparison purposes, these numbers are from fiscal year ending June 30, 2010 (4 years ago), which was the last year before our run of bowl victories.
UL
Revenue: $12,280,070
Expenditures: $12,357,621
LA Tech
Revenue: $16,587,540
Expenditures: $16,481,887
ULM
Revenue: $10,752,992
Expenditures: $10,700,417
In nearly 4 years, we have doubled our revenues and expenditures. Our combined ticket and contribution revenue has jumped from $2.55M to $12.72M! Keep purchasing your season tickets...keep donating to the RCAF. Let's jump another $10M in 4 years! If we do that, our $30M budget falls in line with other CUSA schools...and we did it without a student fee!
I take no credit for this post it was copied from a raginpagin poster. But sure wanted to
