Athletic department revenue
- Thread starter CL82
- Start date
For those same years, Seton Hall's total athletics revenues were $291,463,754.
Do we have a football team that rountinely draws 80K?
These schools own their own arenas and stadiums so I assume they keep all concessions. Additionally I assume they would keep all the revenue from parking too. There are a lot of revenue streams we miss out on playing off campus and not owning our own venue.
I wish! That said, I think we could still do quite nicely with even half that amount! 1.06 B would be very nice!
Without any snark, how does UConn pull in 1.25B with a football program that hemorrhages money? 15 home men's and women's basketball don't do it. Just curious.
It goes back far enough to those years when UConn football was a thing there for a while
It's revenue not profit.
To tell you the truth, that surprised me as well. My best guess is that it's gate revenue, media revenue, sponsorships like Nike, plus institutional support. I think it is a gross number not a net number.
I think this is right. During its first 10 years UConn sold out Rentschler field 31 times. So it used to be pretty lucrative.
Ticket sales are going well for our first home game on August 31 against North Carolina, so maybe we are heading back in that direction. Semi-related note, and I'm still looking for confirmation on it, but I hear that CBS Sportsnet is doubling our football deal so that we will be up to $1 million for football broadcast rights. That not up there with what the big boys make, but it helps.
I see UCONN at $695,467,777 over the 19 years ($36,603,567 average per year) from pure revenue. The difference is institutional support.

Does "institutional support" include scholarships or is it simply budgeted money or additional funds needed beyond budget?
