UConn the first WBB team to earn $3.25M in ticket sales!

That’s what happens when you sell out all of the home games

I'll take a guess that their ticket prices are higher than most of the other teams.

Probably the highest. A few programs, such as South Carolina and Iowa the last couple of years and Tennessee in the past, draw more people because of the arena size but they price their tickets at about half of what a ticket costs for a Yukon game.

Well, you have to consider the cost of traveling to and from the Yukon when you evaluate those prices.

Is this another case of "Does anyone proofread any more?"

Th sleds aren’t that expensive. Ur man dog food went through the roof with Covid!

Speaking of proofreading . . .

That would certainly explain our struggles with cold shooting.

Does anybody know UConn’s TV money?

Does it have to share non-conference game tv proceeds with the conference?

I don't, but back when we first started with SNY while we were in the American, I believe it was about $1 million a year.

Well, the attendance proceeds basically pay for Geno’s salary . TV pays for all the other overhead and probably leaves a bit leftover. I assume your house in Stoors is paid for. Not sure if those numbers are before or after Hartford takes its share but it looks like your women probably help pay for at least Some of your football costs.

It was a decent year revenue wise.

UConn has garnered $98.3 million in gifts over the last four fiscal years (FY21-FY24). The department generated $16.1 million in ticket sales in FY24, up from $12.9 million in FY23.

The womens team, like every WBB team nationally, runs in the red.

Can you detail the 2023-24 financial data on which you base that conclusion? It's a factual assertion that should be provable or disprovable from the evidence available.

Can you detail the 2023-24 financial data on which you base that conclusion? It's a factual assertion that should be provable or disprovable from the evidence available.

According to the above referenced Sportico. UConn WBB expenditures were almost $13MM.They don't cover that. Last year Nan referenced the UConn yearly AD fiscal report which detailed the revenue and expenditures by sport. UConn WBB had a $6MM deficit in FY2023.

I’ll let you do your own research, the data is widely available.

Did we know the NCAA is finally doing revenue sharing from the Big Dance? I missed that announcement

Wonder what the total salaries for wbb is?

It was a pretty big announcement, and it is great news for WBB. The recent TV deal was not as high as it should have been, and it is shared amongst non revenue sports along with WBB, but if viewership holds its current trajectory, the next deal will be much better. As for paying units to teams in the tourney, long overdue.
