Annual Report has been updated as of yesterday. UC comes in at #51 with reported Total Revenue of 81,705,357 v Total Expense of $74, 043,985. This is higher than Washington State, Oregon State, UCF, UConn, Houston, and the rest of the G5/Indy Public Schools.

A deeper dive indicates the following:
$8,045,951 in ticket sales (a record high)
$14,096,511 from contributions (nearly $8M more than last year)
$15,239677 in rights/licensing (2017 was the high mark here with $17,824,578)
$32,969,634 from school funds ($3M more than the prior year).
$11,353,584 from "other" (> than $3M from the prior year).

Thanks for sharing, Clifton. An important note - these are for the 2019-2020 fiscal year, prior to the Big 12 announcement. We'll see the first three categories rise significantly over the next few years, with ticket sales and contributions coming soon, followed by the rights and licensing that will come with the new conference. I suspect we'll settle into the $95 to $100 million range, but I hope to do so in conjunction with our total amount (both raw and percentage) of allocated revenue falling incrementally and significantly. There's a clear demarcation between P5s and others when it comes to that.

How did we set a record for ticket sales in the COVID year?

I believe this is the 2019-20 school year.

Correct.

When last years numbers come out (around this time next year), they are going to be crap because of ticket sales. Will be interesting to see how donations, etc, we're during the COVID year.

We'll actually probably move up higher on the list, given the amount that we use from student fees compared to others. Plus, the access bowl certainly helped.

We’ve been at the 40-45% mark for school subsidy (student fees, etc) for a while now. We are still living on credit cards.

It's the American way!
