Looks like the AAC is slightly below the P5 but above the G4. Good thing is we are second in the conference and may jump UConn once basketball takes off and football starts to make its way into championship hunter territory. This is what the P5 look at when deciding to expand. I put Big 12 and ACC as reference as well as CUSA.

Good for SMU!!!

Interesting. SMU at #65, how ironic, seeing as we would like to be in the 65 or so haves when all is said and done. SMU should definitely move up a bit with much stronger Moody attendance for full year and higher prices.

Thanks for posting this.

I thought we were much lower than that, since the year before it was way less. This puts us as the #3 team in revenue for the G5..and I am not sure if this includes revenues from Moody this year.

The revenue listed for many private schools is inflated by the "tuition costs" thrown into those numbers. Really an accounting trick. Its pretty obvious when you look at what our "revenue" was from football and basketball attendance in 2013

How does that work, exactly?

And yeah, I have a really hard time believing our athletic department makes more than UCF or Cincinnati

This list is for revenues, not expenses, Stallion. You may be referring to the athletic budget...

With the increased ticket prices and the fact that every home game will be sold out this season, we should bump up a little higher next list. Also, we need a serious upgrade in bball merchandise (jerseys & shirts). If we handle it correctly, 2014-15 SMU basketball should be a huge money maker for the school.

I'm sure some of that $$$ is donations but revenue is still revenue & it applies to all schools across the board.

Look I've been following this [deleted] for years-I don't care what a piss-ant with his head up his [deleted] thinks. Why don't you show me how SMU can earn 52 million in revenue without including costs of tuition as an accounting trick from the university to the athletic program

That does not surprise me at all. Can you take some good news and just be happy?

Agreed- I saw some #11 bball jerseys in the bookstore recently, that's a start.

There need to be more t-shirts and Nike gear for SMU bball being sold next year, absolutely.

If your theory is correct, then Tulane and Rice which are even more expensive than SMU would have comparable revenues.

Not if they don't account their athletic program in the same way. Again dumbass-read up-here is the actual huge budgetary deficit we ran up in 2012-the prior year. And it explains the budgetary accounting trick they call a "budgeted university subsidy" to make everything look nice and dandy. But "in Orsini’s first four years, the annual losses jumped to an average of $18.6 million – an increase of 44 percent". The revenue reported includes this "budgeted university subsidy"

If we figured out the "accounting trick" hasn't everybody? If including costs of tuition can be done, then everyone (Rice, Tulane, Wake Forest, etc>) is doing it. Why wouldn't they.
