WBB Revenue

[NorCalJack]

I know things are slow this time of year, so I thought I would post some information that was included in my Sunday paper about Women's Basketball in the Pac-10.

The following is the revenue and expenses of the Pac-10.

School Revenue Expenses Profit/Loss Cal $1,097,641 $1,571,612 ($473,971) Washington $1,083,993 $1,661,035 ($577,042) Wash St. $316,975 $1,253,920 ($936,945) Oregon $608,079 $1,651,069 ($1,042,990) Stanford $993,209 $1,981,775 ($1,048,566) UCLA $180,933 $1,282,510 ($1,101,577) Arizona $556,876 $1,727,094 ($1,170,218) Arizona St. $419,736 $1,624,696 ($1,204,960) Oregon St. $212,313 $1,418,679 ($1,269,366) USC $64,508 $2,180,470 ($2,115,962)

Well if you look at the revenue I was somewhat suprised at how little revenue most of the schools brought in. I will be curious to see what SDSU's revenue will be after we have a full compliment of Div. 1 home games. I will bet we are ahead of USC right now. They also listed the revenue some other non-Pac-10 schools.

Tennessee $4,424,452
Wisconsin $1,009,660
Alabama $119,042
Michigan $74,741
San Jose St. $8,354

Now I know when the women's basketball players say they appreciate the attendance and support they get at SDSU as compared to the teams they play on the road.

Go State!!!

Do you have a link to this article? The only thing about these reports is that each school has different "accounting" about expenses. An example is that some schools will not "charge" transportation expense to WBB but instead it goes under athletic transportation. While another school will put WBB transportation charges in the WBB expenses.

I bet that the difference between Stanford and USC expenses is that most Stanford scholarships are endowed while USC needs to cover those costs with the athletic budget.

Re: WBB Revenue

Good points loudy, I dont know if the NCAA even has a standard set of rules for reporting. Having had a career in accounting I understand perfectly what you are saying. How expense items are classified and whether its a capital or expense could enter in too, especially if they are buying equipment that has a useful life of more than one year. Unless you are an internal auditor, you really dont know what the expense total represents. The link would be helpful.

Also what is included in the revenue? Tickets? Student fees? Endowment income used for scholarships? Lots of questions, but few answers unless you have access to the records.
