USA Today: Athletic department revenue rankings

[RedBug58]

I think the subsidies for each school are interesting.

I was thinking the same thing. Such as, "Why is Tech's subsidy over 2 million more than UL's??" What is driving that?

The diffference may be in assessed student athletic fees.

Additional interesting numbers (UL is not listed here). Note that LSUA&M's library spending is comparable to that of UC Riverside. Embarassing for them.

As it should be. Riverside is an academic institution.

Yeah, I am not sure what his point was on this. UC Riverside is part of the UC system in California and my wife got her undergrad from UC Riverside and Masters from UC Irvine.

The only difference between UC Riverside and LSUA&M, is that UC Riverside is a "FINE" academic institution.

I think I was most surprised by Tech. At first, the numbers looked cooked to me, but then I thought there is no way that a fine institution like Tech would fake their numbers, right?

Yes, we are E-V-I-L.....we are the villains. Remember the '08 IBowl?...we kept you out! We cook the books, we lied to get into USA. We're not even a Tier 1 school.... We faked that too. Does that make you feel better?

The sky is blue, the grass is green, the sun rises in the east and Tech is a bunch of skalawags

As far as the budget goes I know damn well it wasn't factual----NO audit!!!

Couple of interesting things:

First off since 2005 we improved our Revenue 57%
From 2011 to 2012 we improved our Revenue 22.5%
Ticket sales Revenue from 2011 to 2012 went from 1.3 to 2.3 Million
Contributions in the same year nearly doubled (that is you and I my freinds)
School funds went up 1.7 million from 2011 to 2012.

If we have a 22.5% increase in 2013 our budget will be at 21.4 Million. I increased my donation yesterday, who is with me.

Good stuff Dave. Numbers are certainly on the up

It is ABOUT TIME that at least ONE Redneckie is willing to admit all of that publicly!
