ABOUT THE DATABASE

This is the most detailed, publicly available database of college athletic department financial information ever assembled.

It came from forms required by the NCAA for the 2004-05 school year. While the NCAA reports such information only in aggregate, the data is presented here by individual school --- with the ability for users to sort by category and conference, and to compare two schools.

The Star obtained the forms through freedom of information requests to the 215 public schools that compete in Division I. There were 164 responses, 76 percent.

(Requests also were sent to Division I's 112 private schools, which had no obligation to release the information. None did. In addition, state law in Pennsylvania and Delaware does not require its public schools to comply.)

The numbers are presented here as they were reported to the NCAA. No attempt was made to change or research anomalies. The NCAA does that.

Despite improvements in accounting procedures, schools still differ in how they report certain information. For example, some placed all contributions in the "non-program specific" category, while others broke them down by football, men's basketball, etc.

Trying to pin down the Athletic Dept at UM or MSU with respect to where the revenues came from and where they were spent is like trying to catch a greased pig. There are so many general categories of revenue and expenses, and vague categories such as "other", "non-specific", etc., that it is virtually impossible to make a whole lot out of the numbers, other than very general comparisons to other schools as far as total revenue, etc. The schools publish annual financial statements and annual budgets, which are available to the public (available, but not very available) ---which is where most of these financial figures came from for this link provided by GH22 --- but they are so general that I don't think it really provides enough useful information to anyone wanting to seriously break down money issues at the schools. Anyone charged with oversight over these universities would have to be provided much, much more detailed information to be able to manage anything with any degree of competence. Keeping the public primarily in the dark is by design.
