What happened, I thought City College was the most profitable athletic program around

Geez, according to this, even UK is way ahead of them. But they can take consolation in being a close second in the subsidy department, jurich does a great job with his win at all cost program, maybe with the big raise to poor old BP he can justify climbing to #1.



Finally, the right link after some searching, actually have to give credit to MacCard below, went back to the article and had right title but still didn't transfer. Try this:

Am erasing my spread out copy, UK is 14th and UL 22nd in income, UL #2 in subsidy at over $7M while UK (and most real Universities) is at zero..

Isn't it a little early to start drinking?

I'm sure you meant to link this instead:

http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/

Based on that, UL ranks 170th out of 231 schools in subsidies by $, and 194th by % of total revenues. Where are you getting that UL is 2nd in the nation, or even anywhere close to that?

Sorry, not sure why my links weren't working, BUT-------

A little eyeopener in the morning when you get up is a help, and a nip midmorning keeps you going, a beer with lunch is OK, and you need something to get through the long afternoon, then going to TGIF is always fun, a glass of wine with dinner is always socially acceptable, and a nightcap or two to finish off the day is always nice-------

But this sip, sip, sip all day has got to stop.

And no, that wasn't an edict from my boss back when I was working for the man.

Sorry if I offended you------nah, not really, you are a UL fan. Lots of schools lose a lot of money on sports, teams in the SEC or ACC shouldn't be in nearly that bad a shape, even if they rely a lot on other teams football programs for a lot of their income. My link only had the top 25 so UL was second on that list, but maybe I did slight jurich, he was number one in percentage of subsidy among the top twenty five income teams. But at a fast glance it looks like a lot of ACC teams were near the top in subsidies.

I definitely wasn't offended in any way. It's just fairly easy to sort that list by subsidy and determine that your statement about UL being 2nd was completely false.

UofL has the 3rd lowest percentage subsidy (6.84%) of all ACC teams behind Clemson (5.02) and Florida State (5.85%). But it is also notable that only 8 ACC teams are listed - private schools Miami, Duke, Boston College, Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse are not listed and neither is Notre Dame.

UK does deserve a great deal of credit for having 0 subsidy. Hopefully someday UofL will be able to say the same.

I think these figures are from Louisville 's only year in the AAC. It says it's from 2014. Unless the CJ is incorrect in saying their conference distribution was only $7 million dollars and that was down from $10 million the year before. That would have been the Big East's last year. The reports with ACC distributions hasn't been published by USA Today because I never saw where Louisville didn't get full share from the ACC
