NCAA D1 Mens Hockey Revenues

[abmarks]

I went to the source data.   https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/compare/details

Revenues
All revenues attributable to intercollegiate athletic activities. This includes revenues from appearance guarantees and options, contributions from alumni and others, institutional royalties, signage and other sponsorships, sport camps, state or other government support, student activity fees, ticket and luxury box sales, and any other revenues attributable to intercollegiate athletic activities.

its not like every BU game is on tv..  They have been on TV 7-8 times this including ESPN3. bball doesnt pay all that much either and its way more than hockey money

[Trotsky]

so what drives revenue after ticket sales?  BU has only marginally more people in the seats than us?  TV money isnt that big in college hockey?  What makes up the difference?

Given they are so far ahead of everybody, including the western factories, it is probably some hedge fund fuck's donation.  That also tracks with who else is on top.

The problem is none of you morons are rich.

Data from other years would be great.

It is interesting to see the order of magnitude.  Let's say every season about 200 dedicated hockey fans graduate.  50 seasons since the first national title gives us a 10k base.  The left tail gets winnowed down by The Old, so let's say 8k are in a position for, ahem, development.

If each of us gives $3 a day we're the highest revenue NC$$ team for the year considered, and likely among the medalists every year.

College hockey really is rinky dink, and can be dominated (fiscally) by just one of two lunatic outliers.

Yep.  That guy.  The Nazi at NoDak.  We probably have a few guys with dick issues, too.

From such neurosis are dominant programs born.  The trick is to find them and pump them dry.

Pump the dick's dry? Let's try to keep this site family-friendly.

All of the data is available at https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/datafile/list if you want to download and play with it.   For comparison, I pulled the 2003-2004 academic year. The BU rink (Agganis) opened in spring 2005, so I wanted something before that time
