According to Dochterman, the Golden Gophers hockey program is the only non football or basketball program in the entire Big Ten that finished 2024 with a net surplus ($1.82 million). They did so, thanks to a total revenue generated of $7.84 million, which also led all “non-revenue” sports.

Only two other sports beyond football and men’s basketball recorded profits in fiscal year 2024: Minnesota men’s ice hockey and Nebraska women’s volleyball. The Gophers generated $7.84 million and featured a $1.82 million surplus. The Huskers earned $7.25 million in revenue and were $1.34 million in the black.

Gophers Hockey is the Biggest "Non-Revenue" Money Maker in the Big Ten
The college sports landscape is changing but one non-revenue sport is helping the University of Minnesota keep the lights on and it's Gophers hockey.
