The high cost of athletics at the University of Louisiana came into focus on Monday, January 27, with the release of the latest Legislative Auditor's report.

The report shows that UL's athletics department earned $33.5 million last year, but it spent $46.1 million on sports programs. That's a $12.6 million deficit for 2024.

Yet all the simpletons on this board parrot the “colleges are making millions on sports and finally the student athletes deserve to be paid”.

They keep upgrading and adding on to their stadium even though they draw 16,500 a game.

That will eventually bite you in the arse.

How exactly does this argue against that fact?

Also to be clear, no one is talking about fricking ULL in those conversations

Hard to keep track when they've been in a 10/20 million dollar hole every year since covid

There's a lot of P5s that lose money also (overall obviously not on football)

People let ESPN convince them this is needed

ULL needs to drop down to FCS or DII. They are robbing students and tax payers.

Did the college not make millions? In fact 33 million.

I wonder how much of that 33 million was generated by football? I wonder how much of the 46 million was spent on football.

That is the real question.

The other sports that don't generate anything but depend on a socialistic system where money football generates pays for their sporting experience, expenses, schooling and living.... that is an issue.

If they’re losing money which G5 even stands a chance?

That's just one year the total is worse not to mention the stadium renovation that they're going to have to start paying for

And I presume this is including the amount of State money subsidizing SLI's / USL/ 'ULLLL's athletics.
