Intercollegiate Athletics 2009=$7,098,000 | 2010=$7,581,969
Football Tickets  2009=$425,000 | 2010=$380,000
Viewing Boxes Contributions  2009=$420,000 | 2010=$430,000


looks like it went down, I think this is budgeted, not actual

Lots of talk about loges. I might point out the amount of $$$ for loges is equal or larger than all ticket sales.

The audit of our athletic department for 7/1/2011 to 6/30/2012 is available here (page 71):
http://www.auditor.state.oh.us/auditsearch/detail.aspx?ReportID=99385

Being that I look at this stuff all day, every day, I really like the breakdown provided in this statement of revenues and expenses. Here is a screenshot, but if you want a better view, go read the link above.



If you are really bored, you can look at the other state school's audits here:
http://www.auditor.state.oh.us/auditsearch/search.aspx Akron's is quite entertaining to read.

There are a few things in that chart that are highly revealing.  In the revenue section, note that football generated over 632k in the category "royalties, licensing, advertisements, and sponsorships."  Basketball made just under 78k there....not surprising.  What is surprising is that the football total nearly doubled the revenue from football ticket sales.

There are also curious figures in the expenses section.  Note the 25k figure spent on basketball "fund raising, marketing, and promotion" as opposed to only 11k for football.  Note also the recruiting budgets.  117k for basketball and 87k for football. ???  If I am missing something here please correct me, but these figures suggest that the idea that we have a bloated football budget and a miserly basketball budget is just wrong.
