GPL: Minnesota Athletics Reports Record $163.6M in Revenue for FY25

The fees will be for academic year 25-26 so yes, that will show up and help balance the books.

On the backs of indebted students already paying ludicrous tuition, fees, living costs.

Is that clear?

I personally do not agree with P4 schools charging fees, at all.

That said, when you look at the tuition rates and fees the U is charging students compared to other Big Ten schools, we were a bargain.

Age old thing of "well, if our peers are already doing it, then we can't not do it and remain competitive".

You have no clue what you are talking about. The NBA gets 40% of the revenue, other investors get 20% before the teams can begin covering operating expenses, but go on…

Like I said the WNBA is not a good comp to NCAA when judging profitability. NCAA reports will give you the revenue vs expenses. WNBA has its own complications you need to consider.

Tell me you have no business experience without telling me you have no business experience. Businesses pay expenses before businesses pay investors. Businesses that do otherwise are soon insolvent and they and there investors are being sued for defrauding creditors.

What expenses of the WNBA are not being covered? Player salaries? Coaching and staff salaries? Officiating salaries? Arena rent? Game day staff? Marketing? Who is left in the lurch?

WBB expense breakdown:
Travel: 985k
Head coach total comp: 1.07m
Asst coach total comp: 937k
Admin/support staff total comp: 326k
Recruiting: 217k
Equipment/supplies: 115k
Gameday expenses: 342k
Admin overhead: 182k
Facilities overhead: 513k
Player (non-travel) food: 160k
Misc expenses (coaching conferences, banquets, etc): 251k
Post-season expenses (travel, meals, and spirit groups, etc): 245k
(Didn't list things under 100k)

That is sickening for a team that makes no money. I agree that non-rev sports should be regional and/or club.

Tell me you are a dumbass without telling me you are a dumbass. I can’t believe I am arguing with you when a simple google search would explain WNBA revenue distribution.

The WNBA teams only own 42% of the WNBA. The other 58% is owned by investors (42% owned by NBA, 16% owned by PE). The owners only receive the 42% of pie to cover their expenses, the investors (NBA/PE) are not team owners and therefore not covering team expenses like travel, salary. So when the WNBA signed the TV deal with the NBA, the owners are only getting a portion, but when you look at league revenue it’s a much bigger pie. This it isn’t apples to apples.
