They’ll cancel everything. That’s their solution to anything. Disregard anything California

It will never be in the black. They don’t have enough home meets to make up for any expenses.

Well we've actually beat Florida the past few seasons! We've never beaten Oklahoma in the past 10 years.

Didn’t say they don’t do well with attendance because they do great with that. The problem is they only get those attendance numbers for the 5 or so home meets a year. That isn’t enough revenue to get them in the black. Nothing wrong with that I love gymnastics and think it is great exposure for the university but you are kidding yourself if you think they will ever make any money for the athletic department.

Gymnastics has a higher average attendance than mens basketball. They may not be in the black, but they support themselves for the most part.

The key to stadium revenue is not attendance. It is tickets sold times price plus contributions.
The real money comes from TV. March Madness is a Billion dollar deal.
The last time I looked, been a couple years, Men's BB makes a couple million dollars while Gymnastics loses millions. The year they opened the new practice facility, they lost 6 million.
I will say that I have watched more gymnastics than WBB on the SEC Network. About the same as Softball for me personally.
