Tigers football made $85 million in the 2015-16 academic year, turning a profit of more than $55 million. That’s according to two documents obtained by The Advocate: an audit of the athletic department released by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor and an NCAA financial report the school released.

In football, LSU made $3 million more in tickets sales during the 2015 season as it did 2014 because of two games, the audit says: the canceled McNeese State season opener and the relocated South Carolina game.

According to the report, LSU men's basketball made $2.3 million and baseball made $1.5 million. All other sports lost money.
