March 16, 201511 yr 1. Louisville $24 Million 2. Arizona $17.7 Million 3. Syracuse 16. Kentucky 7.5 Million (can't find the full list anywhere) Only 123 D1 schools make money or break even, the rest all lose $$
March 16, 201511 yr Lack of suites bring Kentucky down? Probably. Can only charge so much for a premium seat. That suite leasing is where the big time cash comes from.
March 16, 201511 yr I imagine they could save a chunk by not going to the Bahamas and by paying their coach less. The suites would help draw revenue, as well. I bet Kentucky has the hughest expenses of any college basketball program, though.

March 16, 201511 yr (can't find the full list anywhere) I did a quick search and found a Forbes article from March of last year that seems a little at odds with your original post. Granted, things can change in the course of a year, but Kentucky going from $20.4 million profit in 2014 to $7.5 million profit in 2015 seems a little fishy.

March 16, 201511 yr Raise Rupp and build a new facility I say! I hate sitting in the upper level of that place. Will not go to any more games unless it's in the lower bowl for me, and that ain't too often. I love to watch college basketball and always had a good time at Freedom Hall. The Yum Center is rather nice too. (I go to both, had a child graduate from each.)

High expense and not as great a TV deal as other conferences probably hurting UK.
March 16, 201511 yr Pretty neat to have UL at number 1. My first guess was Duke. I'd have to think Cameron really hurts their revenue.
March 16, 201511 yr I'd have to think Cameron really hurts their revenue. Correct but how much funds do they get from Alumni that offset that.
March 16, 201511 yr It is suprising considering the amount of legal fees Louisville has to pay out every year for their athletic department, right @TheDeuce?
March 16, 201511 yr Correct but how much funds do they get from Alumni that offset that. Every program gets funds from Alumni. You think Duke is getting that much more?
