Here is a grid format of some of the major parts of the NCAA reports that the athletic department must submit each year for cost and profits. When FB is better they make more money. when MBB is good they make a lower profit. When BB and T&F are good they actually lose more money.

Looking at the financial reports between the 5 years from 2015 to 2019 it is easy to see what happened with each sport. Why the others keep getting better and FB slowly dies a little more.

2015 FB spent 58% of the money it brought in and by 2019 that was down to 51%. Now when you look deeper in 2015 debt service was 19.5% of their spend and in 2019 it was 31.6%. So in 2015 money actually spent on FB without debt service was $21,049,443 and 2019 it was down to $20,765,182. Also the scholarship cost actually had gone by over $300,000 in that 5 years. I think the debt service is killing FB as much as anything else, but the growing every other sports budget by taking from FB has made them better as would be expected and killed FB as would be expected.

So 5 years later we actually spent less money on FB than we had before all while increasing revenue by $14,000,000. You can also see by media rights and conference payouts which sports are important for conference realignment. Spoiler TV and the conference both care very little about a couple of sports we happen to be really good at.

I think that they need to get the recruiting budget up to close to $1.2 million in FB if they wat to grow it. of course the 2020 budget numbers should be low as none of them can go out on the road.
(I looked at Okie State and Ole Miss some as well and we spend about what they do on recruiting)

Travel: the better teams do the more they travel in all sports other than Football. That only goes up when they play more away games.
Input air and ground travel, lodging, meals and incidentals (including housing costs incurred during school break period) for competition related to preseason, regular season and nonbowl postseason. Amounts incurred for food and lodging for housing the team before a home game also should be included. Use of the institution's own vehicles or airplanes as well as in-kind value of donor-provided transportation.

Here is the 5 year break down of money spent on debt by sport

Basketball and T&F are split on line items between Men and Women so in essence it is twice the number in the grid. Year 1 was the highest for all other sports and FB has almost doubled. We were told he raised the money for projects before starting them so how did it grow so much? Were we on an interest only loan in the past and are now paying principal as well.

YearFootballBaseballBasketballTrack & Field
2015$5,209,456$1,302,663$1,399,281$804,500
2016$7,312,969 $589,528 $1,368,323$0

$0$267,283$604,693
2019$9,605,960$0$268,661$457,290

There are way more things in there, but I am tired of making boxes. You can take a look at things such as parking and concessions, merchandise, cost of gear, scholarships, medical and food.
