UCF went from 30k to 60k students in a span of like 10 years…that's one way to get some more funding!Posted On: Dec 5th 2013, 9:40 AM #323256
We need to rush more students, the way to rush more students is to play on TV, win football games/bowl games, show palm trees, and beaches in December.

The main point I was going to make is…With the exception of Univ of West Fl, we have the highest athletic fees in the university system.Posted On: Dec 5th 2013, 9:26 AM #323255

According to a BOT presentation given on 6/4/13, the 2013-2014 Athletics Local Budget is $25,655,949. The Revenue Budget showed:
Under Ticket Sales/Other Event-Tickets:
- Stadium ticket sales for Athletic Operations was 207,500
- Stadium Operations was 600,000
Game Guarantees were 2M
Student Fees gave us 10.7M
Development/Corporate Sales 1.5M
Parking 575k
Institutional Support 1.3M
University Support 3.1M
Foundation Scholarship Funds 3.2M
and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff like Licensing, Catering, etc.
I'm not sure the difference between Athletic Operations (all sports?) vs Stadium Operations (football?), but either way, it's generating less than $1M per year and our budget is inching up towards $26M. In fact, parking makes more than half of what we make on tickets… something to consider for those who suggested FAU offer free parking.
I also don't know the difference between Institutional and University Support, but 3.2M from the Foundation towards scholarships is nothing to sneeze at. They literally make these sports possible.
And finally, to the point of this discussion, our biggest chunk is 10.7M from student fees.
That's why it's high. And will be high for… years. Even if we could get near sellouts of the stadium for 5-6 home games each season, Athletics could choose to take that surplus revenue and lower student fees OR they could take it and improve the facilities/programs offered to its athletes.
Not hard to figure out which one is more likely.
