I may have figured out where that data came from, if you look at a 33 million dollar budget and 3 million in ticket sales, someone with an agenda could say they lost 30 million. I’m not saying captcha has an agenda, but someone played a game with numbers to trick you. Tickets are not a big part of the equation and students pay little or nothing. All sports other than a few are free for anyone to attend. As evidenced by my previous post, television revenue, naming rights, corporate sponsorships and money from boosters are where the real money is at. A single booster gave more money than all the ticket revenue combined for the year, and their ticket prices are fairly cheap for the sports they charge for. It would be like saying a movie cost 33 million to make and only made 3 million in the box office, thus lost 30 million, even if it made 25 million in dvd sales and cable tv revenue. That would mean it really only lost 6 million, not 30. That is the closest analogy I could figure out this late without referencing porn, sorry.
