Wealthiest Athletic Departments


Dec 5, 2012, 9:25 PM

The numbers for 2010-2011 are out here:

I was very surprised that we are that far down (42). However, the article said that the new ACC contract would give a boost to all the ACC teams.

What do you think this means for our ability to compete in all sports at a national level?

Does this list take into account...

how much the SEC pays their players?

USC $20MM more PER YEAR.

9 SEC schools above the highest ACC school (FSU).

UVA football more profitable than Clemson.

/Story.

Isn't this not just the cause of our success but the effect

I just glanced at it, but I don't think this takes into consideration debt on hand. Clemson is making money, and we don't have a lot of debt. South Carolina, not so much. In fact, it is one the things that our new AD says we need to take advantage of: Clemson has so little debt that we need to start upgrading facilities while money is cheap.

Good point. I will say, I'm very cautious about increasing the athletic department's debt. I know we make money but I look at Maryland's finances and shudder.

I read it as just revenues

And not a balance sheet.

And what really sticks out is that Auburn and Tennessee are not getting much of a return in terms of wins (guess there is only one Cam Newton on the market every few years that can be bought without NCAA sanctions).

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

There are lots of teams ahead of us on the list....


Dec 6, 2012, 12:03 AM

that are not getting an ROI as football wins. I was also surprised at the amount of revenue that both UVA and Duke are getting.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Every time I see UVA revenue I'm always surprised..******
