GFG Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Here's a list of the top revenue producing athletic departments of 2012. Minnesota is much higher than I thought they would be, all the way at #23. One that I found surprising, with all the hype surrounding NDSU's football fan base and such, is that UND's athletic department (#116) made about $2.5 million more than NDSU's (#127) did. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/schools/finances/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND1983 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 You realize that UND actually lost $683,453 compared to NDSU's $5,936 while being subsidized at a higher rate? Coming to NDSU's defense awfully quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 What are you saying? Are you implying there is a Bison fan lurking around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Dakota Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Coming to NDSU's defense awfully quick. More like disappointed we aren't beating them badly considering the additional hockey revenue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Dakota Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 So you guys are OK with the numbers??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 So you guys are OK with the numbers??? Honestly, who cares. Its a fluid process, year after year after year-no end in sight to judge the numbers. Next year UND could break even. Yippee!! Enjoy the sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeauxSioux Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 So people don't start taking these numbers and pointing out that the Big Sky is costing UND more money... these figures are for the period ending June 30, 2012. UND didn't officially become a member of the Big Sky until July 1, 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND didn't officially become a member of the Big Sky until July 1, 2012. So traveling in the Great West to places like NJ and TX were costing UND money.

UNDBIZ Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Honestly, who cares. Its a fluid process, year after year after year-no end in sight to judge the numbers. Next year UND could break even. Yippee!! Enjoy the sports. Exactly, for all we know UND had a $700K surplus from 2011 that was available to be spent down in 2012. Also, new uniforms and logo-free equipment for all sports isn't exactly cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Big Sky gives out a low six figure amount to each school on revenues from the NCAA, TV, and conference tournaments, but it does have a big revolving fund that UND has had to pay into to become a partner in the Big Sky (UND will get back minus any exit fee if it ever leaves). UND had to pay the Great West to continue to operate, as it had limited revenues from the NCAA. Any UND budget deficit could be largely due to paying into the revolving fund before official entry.
