Yeah, I saw that info before. I'm more interested in seeing the dirty details that make up "revenues" and "expenses". Would be cool to see what a next tier athletic program generates in ticket sales, tv contracts, concessions, sports wear etc....plus expenses like travel broke down by sport, compensation of all athletic dept employees etc.

this one is a bit better by sport but does not break out the revenue the way you want

For those who think FBS is the Land of Milk and Honey, read this story. FSU lost a half million this year on their bowl game, for the second year in a row.

What a fucking joke. That supposed loss is before their allocation of ACC bowl revenue.

That, and the research/investigation was done by some braindead politician!

The point is still valid however. Bowl games are a scam and when a team is in a lower tier league like the MAC, CUSA, or Sun Belt when there is only one or two teams in a bowl, universities lose money. Keep drinking the koolaid. But keep in mind that sugar kills.

LOL come on. Yes the Sun Belt only had two teams last year. The MAC had 5 and CUSA had 6. FBS schools don't lose money because of bowls. And if they do, they make up the money by increased exposure. If they didn't, they wouldn't be FBS.

Bowl games are a scam, but not because FSU "lost money" going to one. There are plenty of actual reasons why they're a scam, we don't need fake ones that also include FSU football crying poor.

I hate to defend the FBS. But in this case, they'll end up making much more money than they lost in this trip. All this was really counting was their travel costs and having to eat unsold tickets.

Keep drinking the koolaid.

Plenty has been written over the years about bowl games and how much money teams lose, especially in the non-BCS bowls. If you think a shit bowl that pays NDSU $900,000 is going to be a cash cow for the athletic department, you are absolutely smoking something you shouldn't be.
