Article behind AAS paywall about UT profits for the 2021-2022 season. Interesting paragraph
The football program pocketed $42,789,035 in ticket sales. Men's basketball ($5,058,225) and baseball ($1,961,878) also cashed in at the box office.
On the women's side, Texas fans spent more money to watch volleyball ($578,036) than basketball ($468,946) during a fiscal year that saw both programs reach the Elite Eight of their NCAA Tournaments. Among the women's sports, basketball was the biggest earner ($2,826,770) and spender ($8,388,433).
I have 4 season tickets to volleyball and WBB. I'll have to sit down with my calculator and figure out price/ticket and see how that logically works out since the old Erwin center could seat more people than Gregory.

My problem with this is so much of the revenue is derived from donations, which is inextricably tied to seat location. That wasn't the focus of the article, but in the context of this situation, how many people are donating more money to improve their seating in Gregory, versus how many people are increasing their donations to improve their seating for women's basketball? As an aside as of this year the athletic department made a change where donations for seating priority in Moody were separated from other Longhorn Foundation donations. I'm not actually looking for an answer. I just know that should be part of the calculus. We just don't have good access to measurements for it. Thank you for the link.

Oh, by the way, overall revenue was $293 million. Which is insane. That's before it goes up from being a part of the SEC television contract, and with Texas football not exactly contributing huge windfalls from post season success.
It's safe to say it's going to shoot past $300m for next fiscal year with the Moody opening. I'm sure it's a matter of time before it crosses the $400m threshold.
I can't find a list for other schools from the 2021-2022 season. I'll be interested in seeing some comparisons. But the differences in revenues between Texas and most programs is startling.
Edit: As a comparison, Ohio State grossed $251.6 million. Alabama grossed $214.4 million.
I can't find anything on A&M. Usually they're right there with Texas.

Yeah, Spring matches aired on LHN will most likely not be happening when we join the SEC; enjoy the matches aired in April as that could be last time ever on TV. What irks me is that SEC Network has 2 cable channels (SECN and SECA Alternate) but is rarely airing any content on the Alternate; basically only if one football game runs long. Seems like such a waste; if they devoted that channel to airing non-football or basketball games, it would make my day. As for LHN studios in Austin, I'll be curious if it becomes another location for the SECN, or the Big 12 (not sure if they will one day get a TV channel). SEC studio is currently in Charlotte, NC, I believe; so, not even in SEC country. Chris Del Conte conducted a town hall meeting today. He was asked what will happen to the Longhorn Network once Texas joins the SEC. His reply was that it'll be folded into the SEC Network. Hope they keep the studio in Austin as that could make a difference for sports like volleyball. Was asked if fans will be able to watch volleyball, baseball, etc. on SEC Network? He replied they'll be able to produce content and put them on either the SEC Network or ESPN+.

So I was having a debate yesterday with my friend. Out of curiosity, where would y’all rank the 2022 team in terms of best teams to come through the university of Texas.
He believes this was the best team to ever play at Texas and although they didn’t win the championship I still believe the 2009 team was the best to do it with the 2022 team being right behind.

It doesn’t feel like much of a debate. I’m not sure how Elliott ever concocts a better roster than last year for as long as he’s coaching.
