I checked out SHSU and overall they came out ahead $100k! Nice! UCA was dead even according to those stats. xsmiley_wix

A lot of folks finagle the numbers to come out even. How'd UCA come out even considering their Hardin situation???

We don't want to know..xsmhx

It looks like Texas State came out ~$1,000,000 ahead? Am I reading that right?

[kirkblitz]

CCU made

329,082

not to shabby

[Redwyn]

There must be a mistake. Stony Brook apparently made 3.2 million last year...

I guess now we know why they're pushing the budget up so much in their scholarship push

Guys...dont take stock in it. Nearly every school will break even or be right at break even. They use all kinds of funning accounting to get these numbers.

As Redwyn stated, I know for a fact Stony Brook did not make money (neither did UA)-- they are in some financial hot waters because of their spending....but the money is there at the school to poach if needed to make up the loss.

The only thing these numbers are accurate for is to see what was actually spent on each sport. As everyone else said, whether or not your runs a profitable athletic department cannot be ascertained from here.

Are any of those numbers correct? Towson was over 14,000 when I was there in the early 90's. And I though Maryland was well over 40K, as opposed to the 24,000 this site claims.

What gives with that?

These numbers are for full-time undergrads only. Albany's attendance numbers are close to what undergraduate attendance is. Maryland reports only 24,000 full-time undergrads on their website.

Mcneese came out just under $200,000 ahead, so that's good considering next year's budget.xthumbsupx

I wonder what Peter Fields (AD) is going to splurge on with the $8,000 profit. xrotatehx


Seriously though if MSU could pay off the horrible loan they got for the last expansion (payments of $500,000/yr.) the athletic dept. would be doing very well, financially.

For the sake of clarity and disclosure, the Feds really need to refine and standardize EADA reporting if the public disclosure aspect is to mean anything at all. Some of these numbers are just ridiculous.

[darell1976]

UND's budget is 14 million for 08-09. Its projected at 15.1 million 09-10, and 18 million when the transition ends in 2012.
