That non-specific revenue is, I believe, the extra money being fronted to the AD to get through this year that will have to be paid back.
 
Where did those 10m come from?

I'm guessing the first $18MM was from the Big 12 revenue sharing and various media contracts. The second $28MM is what's left of the B12 revenue sharing and media contracts plus what the Pac 12 is kicking in to bridge the revenue gap between when we left the B12 and started receiving P12 distributions.
 
I think the more interesting statistic would be projection 2012 budget.

But, thanks for pulling the numbers 76.

A few thoughts / highlights: while revenue is down $3.8 million from 2011 to 2012, expenses as a whole are down $4.8 million. Also, this is conjecture, but I believe the non-sport specific revenues are primarily alumni donations (e.g. the Buff Club and other large private donors), and PAC 12 revenue allocations.

Football is far and away the primary driver of both of those revenue streams, as donors historically care most about football (you donate in part to be able to buy season tickets, for example), and PAC 12 money is thanks to TV revenue which again is primarily thanks to football.

Also, total athletic scholarships come up to $8 million, with $5.1 million of that for male athletes and @2.9 million for women athletes.

I assume the basketball revenue is down a lot because we reduced ticket costs this past season to drive up attendance(?).
 
I'm out of rep. someone rep this man! Also, no idea on why our bball revenue in 2012 is slow.

The bball #'s don't compute - is there a TV or conference distribution missing or something?
 
I'd guess that 2012 bball revenue isn't complete yet (walk up ticket sales and concessions for the rest of the season?)
 
Yeah. There's absolutely no way that MBB revenue is down from where it was last year or the year before. We damn near sold out a weekday game against Wofford that started during work hours, for crissakes!
 
hmmm.. when I got my cheap-seat $60 season basketball tickets for this season, I also got vouchers for free admission to all the women's basketball games. Maybe they put that revenue into non-sport specific revenue since my tickets are good for either men's or women's BBall games.

revenue still shouldn't be down 50% from last year especially as women's season ticket sales are also up this year over last year.
