Interesting. I am surprised UT has that much more revenue. Their games are not crowded but the Drumb is agree than the LNC.

You can virtually guaranty it operates at a loss if it is charged for its share of depreciation on the infrastructure.

I'm sure the difference is because of suites. LNC doesn't have any and I'm pretty sure all the top schools on this list have suites. Not sure about Fla but OSU, tu, Mich and Tenn all do. Alabama??? They have to have suites to have that revenue!

Cash flow would be a better gauge than profit.

Agreed. Things like depreciation are just accounting entries. That depreciation will occur regardless. Only the cash flow really matters.

Dumb post is dumb.

So OU could build a new area every five years and it wouldn't matter? Glad Joe C. is in charge and not you.

Suites produce almost as much revenue as the program itself without the suites? If so, I now understand why ADs are big on new stadiums, especially when the cost of the new stadium is paid by the alumni through donations.

What are you talking about?

You're a real piece of work. Once the arena is already built and the money has been sunk, the depreciation is an ongoing book expense. That's the essence of cash flow. Maybe you missed that in your accounting classes ..... I didn't.

I doubt Joe C is calling you for advice either. Get lost.
