Syracuse ranks third in the country in revenue generated by men’s college basketball

Uconn number 1 right?

 

[DonLightfoot]

Wow, Louisville $12M more than us? Guess they needed the revenues to pay for certain parties

Maybe I missed it in the article, but what all is included in those revenue figures? Obviously ticket sales, NCAA and ACC revenues. What about concessions? How about merchandise sales? Anything else?

Interesting article, thanks for posting.

This is part of the reason why I can't get behind people lowering expectations of Syracuse basketball.

Sanctions played a piece in the team's demise, but moving forward... there should no longer be excuses.

And quite frankly, the performance this past year was a big disappointment -- ask Boeheim.

Illinois @ #5?! Huh?!

Louisville has a sweetheart deal on their downtown arena. The City of Louisville, on the other hand, is drowning on the debt payments as a result. It will take taxpayers decades to pay it off, when most likely the college arms race will demand a new arena in downtown Louisville.

Despite this number, JB has no interest in recruiting outside the east coast. Allmost all of our foreign players played on the east coast, except Marek. Don’t tell anyone we can’t afford to hire a top notch coach after JB retires.

B1G deals.

Outside of football, this team does the heavy lifting for the athletic department and what money isn't spent there is spent at the University level. They've more than earned their "free" education. They are subsidizing a number of entities.

Not a lot of bball talent out west. Not compared to the east, at least. There's a reason the Pac 12 hasn't been good in a long time. There's talent, just not a lot of it.

Staying in the East allows the coaches to be more efficient and see more guys. Not many Cali kids would want to come to Upstate, NY. The ones who'd consider it, better be awesome for us because the travel/time commitment to land them would probably cost looks at other east coast talent.

Also, our big west coast connection (Hop) is gone.

I don't know if people realize that most big time coaches take a regional approach to recruiting, not a national approach.

Def Big 10 money. Ton of teams in the top 15 including Nebraska who’s never even won a tournament game.

 

[Orangemen]

This would hopefully mean a very high limit when it comes to hiring the next coach.

 

[kingtidge]

OK - so this confirms we can make big bags for recruiting then.

yep and Northwestern is 14th and they have one tourney win in their history and play in a very small arena

It means that some of the lesser sports can continue to field a team.

 

[tbonezone]

sounds like it's time to drop ticket prices.

Do we need to?

We did really well in the first half of this decade with a bunch of Philly kids, a bunch of upstate NY kids, a few downstate kids, a few DMV kids, etc. Other than Fab Melo, Keita, and Wes Johnson as a transfer, I’m trying to think of who wasn’t an East Coast kid in that 2009-13 era.

There is a ton of talent from Montreal/Toronto down to DC/Baltimore. I do wish we still had that Detroit connection.

Yup .. them damn sanctions are why we literally have no offensive scheme

But this is about Revenue. The deal that UL has is on the cost side of the profit equation.

Huh? UL controls 88% of the luxury boxes and gets 50% of non-ticket sales in the arena whether they're playing or not. Read the article.

You assume that ALL the revenue goes back into bball? What about the other sports? Has football been able to fund itself much less contribute to the general athletic coffers? Now that it's on an up swing it might. Would think football expenses multiple times bball. What about the dome renovations? All these things go into why bball plays almost exclusively at home in OOC.

The bottom line is the bottom line is fine on the Hill and whomever they want to succeed Jim won’t be an issue financially but if the coach wants to experience CNY and following a legend

In other words, Hopkins will be better compensated coming back IF he wants to come bck
