Rutgers revenue going up

[dmaw]

I remember when Rutgers has the lowest revenue in the P5. They’re up to number 38 in the country bringing in over $100 million last year.

I’ll list some of the schools that took in less than Rutgers last year for people who don’t want to read the article.

38. Rutgers
39. Virginia Tech

#53 is why I think we could still have a shot at getting Mike Leach if the school administration gave a damn and ever actually made an effort.

Here is the problem with that. That revenue figure is completely useless as it include direct university subsidies. So it not a true indicator of how much revenue a school is generating vs how much the university is paying to keep athletics budget balanced.

If only there were a third column on the chart that showed the amount of institutional support schools were providing to their athletic departments...

Also, that number, in turn, is not useful because different schools book facilities costs differently. There are all types of games you can play with the numbers.

Even with the subsidy, the revenue number is a very clear illustrator of what the schools are pulling into their athletics departments, and the expense number is a very clear number reflecting what they are spending. Those are probably the least easily manipulated numbers.
