BTW FTC!!!!
Bobcats raised more money but Grizzlies more profitable
If the ‘Cat-Griz football showdown were decided by dollars instead of scoreboard points, Montana State University might not have won this year.
The rival University of Montana’s football team posted a $3.3 million profit in the fiscal year ending June 2012, beating MSU’s $1.15 million.
That’s just one comparison that can be drawn from the annual report on university athletics, submitted to the Montana Board of Regents for the Jan. 8 meeting in Helena.
The overview of all NCAA sports at the state’s six four-year campuses shows that athletics programs brought in a total of $54 million in revenue while spending $52.9 million, for an overall gain of $1.1 million.
State spending on athletics – including student-athlete fee waivers and direct state support — amounted to about 5 percent of the campuses’ general fund budgets.
Only two campuses showed financial losses on athletics, and those were slight — $10,726 for MSU-Bozeman and $14,372 for UM-Western. The UM-Missoula campus posted an overall profit from athletics of $950,752.
Football remained king, earning $22.3 million statewide, for a surplus of $4.6 million that offset the losses in most other sports.
Gender appeared to be lopsided in Montana sports. Of more than 1,700 student athletes, men outnumbered women by 64 percent to 36 percent, or 1,111 men to 635 women.
A slight majority of athletes – 54 percent – are Montana residents, though certain sports (skiing, soccer, men’s basketball and volleyball) lean more heavily toward out-of-state students.
At most campuses, except MSU-Northern and UM-Western, student athletes achieved higher graduation rates and grade-point averages than the general student body.
All students support athletics through the fees they pay, which raised similar amounts at MSU ($1.59 million) and UM ($1.3 million).
In head-to-head matchups of the two rivals’ athletic programs, here are the winners:
Ticket sales: Grizzlies win, $5.4 million to MSU’s $2.4 million.
Contributions: Bobcats win, $5.8 million to UM’s $3.3 million.
Guarantees revenue: Bobcats win, $631,000 to UM’s $586,000.
Total revenue: Bobcats win, $22.5 million to UM’s $20.2 million.
Athletics student aid: Bobcats win, $4.3 million to UM’s $3.7 million.
Coaching salaries: virtual tie, Bobcats’ $2.66 million to Grizzlies’ $2.61 million.
Total expenses: Grizzlies win, $19.2 million to MSU’s $22.5 million.
In Bobcat athletics last year, football raised the most of any sport — $10.8 million – and posted the biggest profit, $1.15 million.
MSU’s men’s basketball earned $1.4 million in revenue and a profit of $138,163. All other MSU sports lost money. Women’s basketball raised $1 million but ended up losing $141,157.
For all four-year state campuses combined, the biggest sources of athletics revenue were direct university support ($19.3 million), indirect building and administrative support ($7.7 million), ticket sales ($7 million), contributions ($6 million) and student fees ($3.4 million).
The major expenses were coaching ($12.6 million), athlete student aid ($11.8 million), team travel and operating expenses ($10.9 million) and indirect building and administrative support ($7.7 million, which included $4.9 million for expansion of MSU’s football stadium, paid for by fan donations).
