UCF on the other hand was $2.9 million in the red in football (overall their sports revenue was plus $500,000)other revenue made up 80K for usf + 750K - seems reasonableUCF other rev made up 2.9M in football losses to end at +500k - sounds a little creative to me.

Guest Toolio(Guest) Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 staggering figure for uscIt really should be higher, given their resources and location. I'm sure it's gone up significantly in the last couple of years. Just 3 years ago, they were only getting 60,000 fans to a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm hard to please... just have realistic expectations for where USC's program is.While schools like Florida, Tennessee, Ohio State, etc are pulling in 70-80 million, USC is "up to" 60 just now with all of the recent resurgence of their football program.
