That was licensing, ad revenues, etc., much of it associated with tier 3 programming, but including branding. The coaches shows are still there. I believe the contract with the producer (IMG) at base brings in $10m a year. SNY was also paying $2m a year outright just for the women's 3rd tier rights (yes, that money is now gone--ESPN is enjoying it instead of the school). So, there's no way to know what the coaches shows on SNY are going to draw since there are now fewer games (esp. men's bball) on SNY. That $25m will likely fall to anywhere between $15-22m I bet. Happy about it? Say what? You think UConn fans are happy about any of this?

The following is from an article written in 2013 that pegs the value at $8M. There are also links to the actual agreements.

IMG College pays UConn more than $8 million a year to handle its sports marketing and promotion and up to $15 million in royalties. Click here and here to read that contract.

UConn also has one of the most lucrative deals with Nike. The second link is for the actual agreement.

Okie, you seem to lack a basic understanding of what UConn is. UConn is an elite top 20 public university with an athletic department that does nothing but win. The state of Connecticut is 100% behind the university and funds the holy hell out of it. CT is a wealthy state and it has just one major state flagship to support. Connecticut residents love UConn and take great pride in it. 1. The attendance numbers people throw around in regard to football are nonsense. UConn reports actual attendance, we do not report tickets sold like just about every other school does. 2. UConn requires its athletes to take real classes, not fake ones or ridiculous athlete only ones. The penalty levied on our basketball team was an unprecedented retroactive punishment. The university has not suddenly started holding athletes to a higher standard to get eligible for postseason play. Instead UConn has started making sure they play the system to ensure compliance. Basically, UConn hasn't changed its ways and gotten serious, we've lessened our standards for athletes so that we can play on a level playing field. Meanwhile, UNC remains unpunished for full on cheating. 3. UConn does not inflate athletic department revenue by playing numbers games and mixing in donations etc., which many, many other schools do. Our strong revenue numbers are real and uninflated. 4. UConn's football attendance was declining because of the Pasqualoni regime. Not only did the team stink, but it got worse week after week. The fans threw in the towel because we are used to championships. We are a demanding fan base because we are spoiled by championships. Most fans of other schools don't get that because they never win anything. Our football attendance was great for very mediocre and above average Edsall coached teams. 5. Our facilities are ridiculous. I've been in Florida's and I've been in ours. We are right there with them. 6. We have the best evidence one could get that rumors that UConn and Cuse were the top ACC targets for expansion are true. BC AD Gene D. said in print, that BC lobbied against UCONN and didn't want us in because they wanted to be New England's team. They then went to Pitt. Please stop littering our board with one incorrect assertion after another. You would be better served to do more listening and less talking around here. This fan base is surprisingly bright compared to most. Nothing is more annoying to a UConn fan than an Iowa St or Okie St fans telling us how the big boys do it. You guys don't know * about big time other than big football stadiums and BBQ.

 

[Dooley]

Sounds like you already have the facilites necessary to compete if you are even close to what Oregon has.. So what would you say the program needs the most moving forward?

Firing Paul Pasqualoni. We are all excited to get football competitive (again) under Diaco.

 

[ZooCougar]

Iowa State is basically a school with a CUSA profile that won the geography lottery.

 

[upstater]

That is still really impressive if true. Those are some big time numbers to not include any good games.

You can look the numbers up at USA Today's NCAA database. They break it down by licensing rights per schol. UConn's numbers were double what anyone else's were in the BE, including Louisville's. But this is largely because UConn includes Women's bball as a revenue sport. They make a ton of money. Couple that with ads and sponsorships, TV eyeballs in those secondary deals for 3 sports, a relatively wealthy fanbase, and you see why UConn's AD budget is $65m a year, even if it only brings in $2m in TV revenue (I should say it used to bring in $65m when it received $7m in TV revenue under the old contract, but who knows what the budget will be going forward).

Just one quibble. UConn does mix in donations as revenue. All schools do. I knock Louisville a little bit simply because they take ALL athletic department donations, and instead of including them as AD revenue, they take all that money and dump it into basketball revenue, to make it look like Louisville bball is by far and away the most profitable program in the nation. Taken as a whole, however, the AD numbers are comparable except for the fact that schools all use subsidies from the academic side (which are also listed in the budgets).

Iowa State is basically a school with a CUSA profile that won the geography lottery.

I'd say that about Baylor long before Iowa State. Iowa State is AAU and had a long history in the Big 8. Geography is what could hurt ISU now -- if the Big XII implodes, they are hurting -- due to the demographics of their geographic region (and the long shadows cast by nearby UNL, KU, UWisc, UIowa in sporting arenas)

 

[upstater]

Upstater:

The problem that UConn had, perception wise, with the Clemson-FSU and ACC football guys wasn't its prowess vis a vis Syracuse in football.

It was the thinking that UConn was another basketball school.

Syracuse was what it was...Coach K and Williams wanting Boeheim's crew and having the votes lined up.


FSU so loathed Maryland as an opponent that it colored any replacement. If a team looked like it may offer some football competition, it had to be better then the Terp's waste of Saturdays.

UConn's record against the ACC since 2000 is .312 (5-11). Not really too bad of a record on the surface.

But UConn did not beat any ACC team with a winning record or a .500 conference record.

And Louisville had Strong and looked to be coming on...the Cards had a winning record against the ACC since 2000...with a win over 9 win FSU and a win over the ACC Champ in the Orange Bowl in 2007.

Since 2000? In 2000 we were losing football games to D1AA. UConn played Miami, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech at a glorified high school field that doesn't even exist anymore! BC twice.

Why not try what happened once UConn ramped up and joined the BE. Demolished Virginia 45-10. Beat Duke, Wake Forest, Maryland, winning records against the ex-BE Syracuse, Pitt and Louisville. Clearly Uconn could hold its own. Nip and tuck games against NC State and UNC too. FSU, Clemson and Miami present tough games, but other than that, no one would be surprised to see UConn beat any of the teams in the ACC.

The ACC made a very bad decision when it left out UConn. it up.

How do you figure this? AAU school, large enrollment, great fan interest. Look at their attendance. They literally nearly double you in FB and draw just under 10k for WBB games. Mens are about 14k if I remember correctly. ISU is in a power conference and they are AAU, 2 things that UConn desperately wants to have. That is C-USA??? give me a break. Lets see you back up your statement.

Do they double UConn in attendance? Last time UConn traveled out there, they had no one in the stands. Maybe 10,000. They had a future NFL starter at QB, and a bowl game was on the line for them. UConn won something like 38-10.

I dont' even know what to say to your post other than I think you have an inflated view of yourself and dont' realize how far behind you are with your football program. Unfortunately FB is what matters in realignment. Basketball is an afterthought and quite frankly makes the NCAA money but leaves very little for the conferences and schools compared to FB. If BB was what mattered UConn would already be in a power conference.

I am listening and have learned quite a bit about your program. But you still have an inflated view of yourself that prevents you from being realistic about things.

Your insults to me are quite funny. You have no clue what big time football is like. More people show up for some high school games in Texas and Oklahoma than UConn games, that is a fact.

How many NC's does UConn have?

Yep. You average about 30k and they average about 55k. Nearly double what you get. In fact their last home game compared to yours had more than 3 times the fans that you did. ISU has great fan support, one of the best in the country across the board. And this was a terrible season, their fans are dedicated and support the team even when they lose.

A school that has a recent Heisman, power conference championship, success in WBB, and success in BB. And this is a C-USA team. You guys need to do some research.

All of that was post "winning the lottery" with Fox saving the Big XII. Baylor has known they have been on the ropes twice, with the dissolution of the SWC/inital formation of Big XII and then the Big XII's problems four years ago; and props to them for getting their ship in order recently.

But I will grant you, suggesting TCU would have been much more appropriate as a "C-USA" school.

UConn has every right to resent Rutgers, BC, TCU in terms of "overall merit" for power conference promotion. (And I would have had pre-2000 Baylor in there). (Edit: D'oh! And Louisville, of course. Just because my ACC school wanted UofL over UConn does not mean I did.)

What has changed in a few years? There was no one there when UConn plaued them?

Is this a matter of creative ticket counting?

By the way, UConn averaged $38k for a decade until Pasqualoni happened to us.

Please understand two things when you rant on about UCONN football attendance:

1. UCONN just endured a MISERABLE 3-year period under a stone age head coach (hired by our old AD no longer at the University). NO attendance figures are going to look good at the end of a 3 year down cycle with an encore finale 3 win season;

2. As Upstater mentioned earlier, UCONN reports ACTUAL TICKETS SCANNED AT THE GATES. I have no idea if Iowa State does this or not. If they do, great. But as an example, Rutgers does not...they report tickets sold (most stadiums do). And they reported attendance of around 33K for their last game against USF (to gain bowl eligibility no less on the same day UCONN played Memphis) when actually only 17K showed up.

I don't dispute that UCONN is behind other programs across the country right now. But there are some serious misrepresentations of facts out there for whatever reason that seem to hurt UCONN. For instance, did you know that Oklahoma only sold about 1K more tickets through the school than UCONN sold through the school for their Fiesta Bowl matchup? But for some reason, misinformed people seem to think that UCONN only had 4K fans the U of Phoenix Stadium while giving the benefit of the doubt to OU fans that they had more than 6K. OU fans are given the benefit of the doubt that their fans have heard of StubHub (where tickets could be found for $20...MUCH cheaper than buying through the school) but UCONN fans haven't??

I also read your rant about coaching salaries being a barometer of dedication to football. I understand your point. Investing in football by bringing in talented coaches is just one barometer used to measure dedication to the football program. That said, UCONN is towards the top of the G5 schools. UCONN also increased its Assistant Coach salary pool with the Diaco hire. So while Diaco's $1.5M/yr salary is low compared to P5 schools, it's not that far off considering the HUGE disparity in TV revenue (and not that far behind Iowa State's Paul Rhodes at $1.8M/yr). The increased funding also comes at a time where, like you said, attendance dipped last year for the reasons I stated above. UCONN could have very easily hired another old retread and cut football funding after the disastrous Pasqualoni/DeLeone era and considering our God awful AAC affiliation, but didn't. Our current AD, Warde Manuel, knows that the Rent was packed with 40K sellouts every week for years pre-Pasqualoni. Our stadium is small but was built to be expanded...in fact, footings were already put in place when it was built in 2000 to support a quick expansion when UCONN gets tapped for a P5 invite. We understand that football is the driver in CR but the timing couldn't have been worse. UCONN was in a downswing with its football program at a time when LCC was in an upswing in theirs (after having a downswing and attendance issues of their own!).

Make no mistake about it, when UCONN decides to boost an athletic program, it does so in the right way. UCONN wants to improve football in the worst way and it will. Just like our countless other very successful athletic programs, football can and will be successful at UCONN. Step one was getting rid of the old coaching regime and bringing in one of the top assistant coaches in the country from one of the top (probably THE top) programs in the country. I know our short history isn't that impressive compared to other programs across the country, but scale back the layers and actually look at what the program has already accomplished in just one decade since moving to D-1 (pre Pasqualoni, of course). UCONN currently has more guys in the NFL than LCC, the Fruit, or sPitt. A testimony to our state-of-the-art facilities and commitment made to the program's D-1 upgrade. Now we just have to win on the field (again). When that happens, you will know that the huge improvement over 2013's attendance figures are real and solid (not manipulated) because, like I said, we report tickets scanned at the gate.

All UCONN fans ask for is fair representation out there...not misinformed regurgitation of statements made by agenda-motivated sports outlets. Is UCONN football down right now? Absolutely. Nobody is disputing that. All we ask for is that people outside of CT understand the why's involved and that the old regime responsible for the Pasqualoni hiring is out. Our current leaders and administration are completely dedicated towards improving football and it will.

Did you really just say success in Iowa St MBB/WBB on a UCONN board...?

Read carefully. That was in response to ridiculous comments about Baylor being a C-USA team. RG3 won a Heisman. They won the Big 12 last year. And have a strong BB and WBB program right now.

It appears that UConn folks dont' know much about Big 12 schools and I dont' know much about UConn.

Rutgers??? How did they end up in the conversation?

I'm not being a dick. You just can't seem to handle the truth when I post your attendance numbers.

OK state will never have a game with 20k people. Likely will never have a game with 30k people and that is your average.
Here is out attendance from last year. Notice that UTSA had 40k people at the game, 10k more than your average.

Did you really just say success in Iowa St MBB/WBB on a UCONN board...?

Ironic huh? We're being lectured about football importance and then MBB and WBB success is used to defend another school's merit. I think that some of our out of town guests forget where they are posting sometimes. Ugh.

Read carefully. That was in response to ridiculous comments about Baylor being a C-USA team. RG3 won a Heisman. They won the Big 12 last year. And have a strong BB and WBB program right now.

It appears that UConn folks dont' know much about Big 12 schools and I dont' know much about UConn.

I guess the difference is that UCONN folks aren't on B12 boards lecturing B12 fans while you are here, on our board, lecturing us.

Rutgers??? How did they end up in the conversation?

I'm not being a . You just can't seem to handle the truth when I post your attendance numbers.

OK state will never have a game with 20k people. Likely will never have a game with 30k people and that is your average.
Here is out attendance from last year. Notice that UTSA had 40k people at the game, 10k more than your average.
