Revenues and Expenses for Pac-10 sports
just found this great government website that lists the operating costs and revenues generated by every school in the country. Turns out all schools have to report this information to the Office of Post Secondary Education (under the DOE).
So without further ado:
California
Stanford
USC
UCLA
Oregon
Oregon State
Washington
Washington State
Arizona
Arizona State
Make what you will of this information. In fact if the more financially knowledgeable folks amongst us can explain these charts in more details I would be grateful.
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

can I get a conclusion section?
"We lose to Stanford in many sports, but if you want to make a Cal team quit, bring a weapon."
--Coach Clark
I always thought Title IX mandated that schools spend the same amount on men’s and women’s sports. Clearly this is not the case, where is my understanding of Title IX wrong?
If I understand it right, Title IX mandates that athletic departments award an equal number of scholarships to men and women.
That would make sense insomuch as mandating that roughly the same amount of money be spent on women’s and men’s sports seems like it would require a ridiculous amount of micromanagement.

It was fantastic."

According to the Wikipedia page there are three prongs, compliance with any one of them bring you into compliance with Title IX:
Prong one – Providing athletic participation opportunities that are substantially proportionate to the student enrollment, OR
Prong two – Demonstrate a continual expansion of athletic opportunities for the underrepresented sex, OR
Prong three – Full and effective accommodation of the interest and ability of underrepresented sex
Prong one seems like the easiest to prove and therefore the one people are most acquainted with/have a beef against. None of these say anything like we have to spend the same ammount of money or scholarships on women and men’s sports.
Prong one seems to pretty clearly lay out that scholarships have to be proportionate to student enrollment, which for most schools, will mean a pretty equal number of scholarships…

Not enough handwashing I suppose.

Oregon State, USC, UDUB, and ASU all make more money off of football than we do.
Weird.

USC and UW doesn’t surprise me. OSU and ASU does. I wonder why. They don’t have bigger stadiums, and I don’t think they charge more for tickets. Do their alums spend a ton on merchandise?

There are some confusing things in all this.
the ‘non sport/gender’ allocated expenses and revenues are a strange item.
especially as for Cal it’s nearly 1/2 of the allocated expenses. do we spend $28M on athletic department overhead? is this where facility costs are put?
there are to many unknowns in these types of summaries to get a grip on the financial situation of each program without lots of explaination.
Go Bears Go
It also looks like there are some withholdings and fudging of data. It’s totes confusing which is why I didn’t want to analyze it.
In other words, Go Bears!
i'm sure there's plenty of fudge in those data sets.
enough for us all to get fat fat fat.
Go Bears Go
interestingly we bring in double what ucla does
on the non-football/basketball revenues
and waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than $c.

FY which? ending June 2009?
Title IX looks at the % of m/f in the student body. Currently females are 54% of the Cal student body, maybe. Then the various items are to try and match that % or show continued plan and progress towards that.
- of sports
- of athletes involved…including walkons, Red shirts etc
- of operating $$
- of scholies
I think.
Ath Depts get reviewed by the Feds every 10 years. Many schools scramble just before the review to get things organized to show progress, or put plans in place, that have gone by the wayside over the prior 10 years. Usually new coaches, new ADs have come onboard…etc etc. and schools don’t keep up with overseeing Title IX commitments.
I think it’s interesting to note (and that most people here prolly already knew) that Football and Men’s Basketball bring in money ot the Athletic Department. All other sports lose money. So as much as those programs are maligned (I’m looking at you academic senate,) we would be worse off without them.
