How much does your university spend on athletics?

Skipper · February 22, 2012

After years of trying, the University of Memphis made it into the Big East.

The Tigers will join some former conference rivals as well as some Conference USA defectors in the 2013-14 season.

How do those schools — with so much conference history — stack up to each other by the numbers? Athletic department expenses can be an indicator of the level of commitment to competing at the highest level in college athletics.

MBJ has created a sortable database (below) of Division 1 college athletic departments based on Equality in Athletics data from the U.S. Department of Education. Data can be sorted by clicking any of the tabs at the top of the database; more detailed information on each university’s athletic department is available by clicking on the ‘View Details’ link to the right of each university’s information.

When I saw that there were 14 pages on the list, I immediately scrolled to the end and worked my way back out of habit

I was pleased to find UNT on page 6 out of 14. We are definitely moving up the list.

Maybe page 5; $22,417,616 for the 2010-11 season.
