Here's where Alabama and Auburn stacked up in Fiscal Year 2023.
The desire to see favorite teams win games has long inspired massive generosity, and for the fiscal year, which ran from July 1 of 2022 through June 30 of 2023, the donations made up 27.5% of the $2.8 billion the 15 current and future public SEC schools made in revenue, according to. As a private school, Vanderbilt’s financial numbers were not available to the public. Even so, the numbers are eye-popping.
Texas was second, behind its in-state rival, reporting $86 million in donations. Georgia was third on the list, raking in $75.9 million.Given its huge number, it’s no surprise that Texas A&M also has the highest reliance on donor funds. The contributions made up 41.3% of the Aggies’ total revenue.The Crimson Tide’s donations made up 24.5% of its revenue, the eighth-highest percentage in the league. Auburn’s contributions were good for 21.2%, 12th on the list.
That could be due to not breaking donations out into specific sports, as Arkansas seems to do. However, both Mississippi State and Kentucky show contributions for non-football sports in separate categories, though their highest contribution amounts were listed as non-sport specific, which could be used on football.
Besides the three which reported no football-specific donations, Missouri brought up the rear with $5.7 million.
