Highlights:
  • Revenues hit $91.2 million, a 5.5 percent increase
  • Expenses clocked in at $94.3 million
  • MU made $33.5 million from the SECN
  • Ticket revenue was $19.1 million, a 18.3 percent decline
  • Ticket revenue in basketball fell to $3.7 million, a drop of 20.9 percent
  • Football ticket revenue was 13.3 million, down. 18.7 percent
  • Stipends for athletes jumped to $5,451 from $3,079
  • Expenses overall tended to jump
You can compare this FY with others dating back to FY2007, too.

The financial case for making a change in basketball is pretty clear: Ticket revenues are their lowest in a decade. They've dropped 28.8 percent since FY2014, when Mizzou brought in $5.2 million. And it will be another year or so before we have an accounting for how bad this season was.

Football ticket sales slumped, but still came in above where they were in FY2012.
