Interesting revenue numbers

[Coach34]

Chase Parham tweeted out Mississippi revenue numbers for 24-25 and it made me smile:

Football$28MM plus
MBB- -$900K
WBB- -$7.4MM
Beisball- $1.1MM
Softball- -$3.1MM

A. Baseball is now a moneymaker for SEC schools

B. Baseball literally paid for Men's BB

C. Women's sports are such a drain on the pocketbook

That's interesting. Sounds like we should adjust the paychecks accordingly lol

WBK at 7MM? That seems wrong

ETA... just noticed the -

[Todd4State]

Is that for Ole Miss or MSU?

Bring in almost nothing and have almost the exact same expenditures as does the men's team wouldn't you think?

[msstate7]

Wait, revenue should be positive, right? Then you take expenditures out to figure profit/loss

Yes, this is a profit/loss scenario... athletics generate well over $100M in revenue.

Football: $28MM+
MBB: ($900K)
WBB: ($7.4MM)
Baseball: $1.1MM
Softball: ($3.1MM)

I said Mississippi

[Coach34]

yes- profit/loss totals for each sport.

[msstate7]

I said Mississippi

Is their new stadium playing with their MBK numbers?

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I would think that MSU Revenue would be about $30M less

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Is their new stadium playing with their MBK numbers?

An Accountant could put that under property, plant and equipment as overhead? If you added the cost for the new Dude into Baseball P&L, MSU wouldn?t make a profit on Baseball for 20+ years.

[Coach34]

Is their new stadium playing with their MBK numbers?

It was for the 2024 season- so yes unless they are still paying it off. No idea on that.

Baseball at State makes a profit also but we have that stadium bill to pay

[The Federalist Engineer]

Yes, this is a profit/loss scenario... athletics generate well over $100M in revenue.

Football: $28MM+
MBB: ($900K)
WBB: ($7.4MM)
Baseball: $1.1MM
Softball: ($3.1MM)

You fixed it, women's sports are a $10.5M dollar flush down the toilet

Is that just travel? Or do they count the "scholarships" as expenses?

Seems SEC should make a Women's SEC that would limit travel to nothing. In micro conferences. Or make women's sports in the SEC as Division II.

MSU, Ole Miss, UAB, USM, Bama, Memphis, LSU, Tulane, UNO

Play home and away in the micro conference. No flights.

I can't wait for baseball tickets to go to actually worth to see what that number really should look like. When does that joke of pricing reset,2029? Maybe then people will actually have access to tickets without having to pay + $200 per seat per game plus fees. On seatgeek.

Said in the article no. That's a separate line item.

You think that's gonna bring prices down???? No. Other way.

That's all expenditures. Travel, staff, scholarships etc.

Then they probably doing it right. Doesn't bama lose money on football?

[TheLostDawg]

Depends how you see it. The prices will actually be at value (which people will likely drop tickets since they can't make a profit on them anymore) therefore I can go to the games at cost instead of paying for someone else's season tickets trying to go to a weekend sec series (once I'm able to get season tickets).
So yeah I'll spend more money overall but I'll get more value and actually be able to attend more games, which I can't do now.

[TheLostDawg]

And that's nothing against you as I believe you go to the games but there are a lot of folks that just buy and resale them at crazy rates which is likely going to be even more now. Therefore what I'm saying is I have to break the bank to get chairbacks to take my family now, likely paying for half of someone season ticket in one weekend. I would much rather use that money and buy my own season tickets and be able to go to more games.

The fact that Cohen did what he did on the seats just shows how clueless he was. We're also missing a huge revenue with lack of seats that are desired. It would have been much cheaper to just add more when we were building initially.
We could always do what UM did with their NEZ on the sides when sec season play starts but we won't. If it was football it wouldn't be a second thought.

What I'm saying is, the price goes up per season for a seat. The individual price for a game goes up. It's not going to make it easier or cheaper. The only people that benefit is the ones who go from the waiting list to the rightful owner of a seat.

When we built the stadium we had a seat for every person who committed to one. Plus an additional 750. They all sold. He didn't do anything wrong in this case. Demand is good.

I get it. But if you don't get one from the waiting list. Your cost is going to go up. Not down. That's all I'm saying
