USC reported yesterday that football was the only sport that made money last season. Men’s basketball lost $300,000 with $5.5 million in revenue and $5.8 million in expenses. Now USC has ways of working the numbers. For example, the athletic dept. reported $113.2 million in revenue and $113.2 million in expenses. Magical.
But men’s basketball went to the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament and lost $300,000. Who was doing the accounting? Tony Bland?
Football had $59.8 million in revenue and $30.2 million in expenses.
Vanderbilt had $ 12,000,000 more in Football TV Revenue that USC did. Thanks Larry.
It’s all Directv’s fault, well that’s Larry’s excuse.
We suck at everything. USC should just nuke itself. I’m sure Wolf would like that.
Me too.
I hear you. It’s tough out there being a Ruins fan…
More polishing and less posting!
You’d just take cover in a urinal. At least you’d have some cakes to eat.
Squatter, then nuke yourself. Hurry up. We can sell tv rights to this, but knowing you are U Clown Lose Again fan, no one would watch.
5.8 million in expenses, Really? I’d love to have a breakdown on that, because it sounds like the team is flying first class, and staying at five star hotels, and that includes the coaching staff, doing the same on recruiting trips.. smh
Hookers are expensive
So is mental health care
If you want to be like Louisville…
bozo u is cash only!
Soft serve ice cream machine maintenance?

Bus transportation $ Got to get from the airport to the hotel to the arena

Supporting Employees: $ Video guy, strength coach, secretaries

Fred, this does add up. The expenses sound about right from what I have thought it would take to run a team.
We’ve known for decades that football pays the bills.
Who wants to watch the Toejam BB pound cupcake after cupcake and then lose heavy when it meets in conf. competition.
Who cares. USC is a private institution. They can burn the money for all I care.
Didn’t Bland make $300K? They can maybe break even this year without him!
Adidas pays more. Ask Pitino.
Of course they lost money. It cost a lot to get recruits to go there. Just ask Tony Bland if you don’t believe me.
