Holly Has Improved UT In One Huge Area

[VolnJC]

not paying CPS salary ? that is a big difference,I think


don't quote me on that lol

oh and how many women were let go on the womens side ? that may have figured in a lot too


and lets not forget the SECN money (ESPN)

yeah all of the helps but the fact that UT was the only Power 5 team to turn a profit in WBB says a lot..I have only gotten to go to one game this year(Alabama) and the crowd was awesome

Edit...I think we are still paying CPS..isn't she the HC Emeritus? I think I read she makes about 100k a year

 

[governmentmule]

I was thinking the same VolnJC

she has earned it

 

[governmentmule]

that says a lot about the Lady Vols fans

 

[VolnJC]

that says a lot about the Lady Vols fans

best fans around..and I understand the frustration just don't think there is a magic fix by hiring a new coach this year

 

[governmentmule]

I'm with you,it will be hard to replace a 77% winning record,of course it was at 80% not long ago lol

 

[wtorange]

Were the Women's UTAD salaries part of the women's team expenses in 2010-2011?

If so, then Dave Hart is the reason for the profits.

At the risk of being slammed hard Hart is the reason. The reorganization of the athletic department, while making Hart the bane of all troubles in UT athletics, has been responsible for making the whole department more profitable which also accounts for use being able to bring in Shoop in football.

Perhaps the Huskies have a more expensive overhead than the LVs do.

I guess that's why they can get the "big talent"...

GO LADY VOLS!

 

[alexvol]

We've improved in the loss column also

True dat !!! Very efficiently in that process as well....what does that work out to be 29,000/25 losses = $ 1160 per loss .

 

[Batman33]

you cant be serious. You need another year to see if she can get it done ? I hate to break it to you but holly is not a hofer and if she really was a vfl she would of already resigned instead of finishing off the basketball program.

Uconn revenue is 666 explains what we think of the coach lol

 

[chuck0303]

How is this possible? A friend of mine w the program said we were one of the few women's programs in the nation that actually made a profit. I see that is true now. (This was for a discussion on paying college athletes also.)

Edit: What is Holly or our women's program doing differently to actually make a profit?

Losing is the new winning? Lol. Losing (games) is Losing.period.dot.

 

[chuck0303]

I would gladly run a deficit to win championships..it was worth it for Pat even when she wasn't winning because of the prestige and publicity she brought to the uni..I think Holly has earned the right to try to right this ship..and I'm not sure there is a guaranteed answer out there with another coach

glub, glub, glub...down she goes...glub, glub, glub with the ship.

 

[Volfan2012]

It is really hard to right a ship when you are losing two of your three post players and have a 0 recruiting class coming in. Good chance we may lose a player or two to transfer so not going to be easy to right the ship with what she has on the roster added to her most of the time incompetent coaching ability.

Perhaps the Huskies have a more expensive overhead than the LVs do.

Better players and coaches cost $$$.

 

[Volfan2012]

Geno make twice as much money as Holly and I think all three Assistants are paid more than our Assistants. They also do not draw as many fans as we do so they should have a bigger loss. I am sure the big boosters of UConn are glad to foot a 2.67 million deficit for winning a National Championship and going to the final four every year. For most boosters 2.67 million is pocket change.

Trying to understand college athletic budgets is like trying to untangle a rat's nest. Very difficult to follow the trail of money both in and out, especially when there are so many indirect revenues and incomes to consider.

For any given program, the profit versus loss can change from year to year, even dramatically. VolnJC posted above data that shows UConn's WCBB losing a lot of money. I'm not sure what year those data are from.

Below are data for a report to the Connecticut legislature for Fiscal Year 2008 which shows a huge profit. I have no idea if this is typical or not.

Table 1 shows FY 08 revenue and expenses for the UConn women's basketball program. The program earned a total $12 million during this period; $5.2 million in direct revenue and $6.7 million in indirect revenue. This compares to $7.3 million in direct revenue and $6.7 million in indirect revenue for the men's basketball program in FY 08.

The women's basketball program spent $6.3 million in FY 08. This includes $4.6 million in direct expenses (including $494,023 in scholarships), $0.13 million for support staff, and $1.5 million in other Division of Athletics' indirect expenses attributable to the program. (The support staff expense total includes $32,500 for an academic advisor and academic tutors paid for by UConn's Office of the Provost.) In comparison, the men's basketball program spent $6 million in direct expenses, $0.3 million for support staff, and $1.5 million in indirect expenses in this same period.

As with the men's program, The Division of Athletics attributes 27% of its total indirect revenue and 30% of its indirect expenses to the women's basketball program.

Thank you SEC network... Not Holly. She has nothing to do with it.
