Pretty cool digital report on the past school year
This is the graph I found most interesting:
I wouldn't have guessed that Salaries & Benefits were that close to Operating Expenses. Also, we could double the amount spent on Student Financial Aid (full cost of attendance, four year scholarships, post-grad assistance, etc.) and it would still "only" be 19% of the budget. A little more than a drop in the bucket but still not a huge amount.
On the revenue side, I was always curios as to how much Concessions & Parking made up. Apparently it's 20% of ticket sales. Obviously that probably isn't equal across all sports but most of the ticket sales come from football and - I'd assume - a lot of the concessions does as well. But the Huskers make about $5M per home football game just from ticket sales so it's plausible that they'd make another $1M per game on concessions. Keep that $6M figure in mind when someone tries to claim that we're losing out on revenue by not playing one of the marquee neutral-site games.
