14 Charlotte 49ers 2009 - 2010 ATHLETIC REVENUE BUDGET 2019 - 2020 ATHLETIC REVENUE BUDGET
EXPLOSIVE GROWTH
When the Charlotte 49ers entered the decade, our Athletics program financially reflected that of a competitive Division I non-football institution. Compensation, scholarships and travel for the then 16-program department compared favorably to our colleagues in the Atlantic 10 Conference and across the Division I-AAA landscape. Almost 78% of all Athletic Fee - Endowment - Interest - Athletic Fee - Sponsorships - Interest - expenditures fell into one of those three aforementioned $9,471,000 $307,000 $50,000 $22,553,590 $1,500,000 $354,000 areas, with equipment, game operations and officiating Gate Receipts - Sponsorships - Athletic Foundation - Gate Receipts - Endowment - $549,750 $288,000 $2,492,722 $1,487,250 $350,000 also contributing in a significant way to the outflow. From Athletic Foundation - NCAA / Conference - NCAA / Conference - Guarantees - Parking - a revenue perspective, the program relied heavily on the $502,782 $285,502 $2,232,850 $1,015,000 $100,000 student athletic fee, as other contributing revenue made up only 18% of the projected needs.
A decade later has witnessed the full integration of an FBS football program, the addition of women’s golf to the 49ers’ 2009 - 2010 ATHLETIC EXPENSE BUDGET 2019 - 2020 ATHLETIC EXPENSE BUDGET offerings, and a significantly enhanced facilities landscape. The “big three” of compensation, scholarships and travel still make up almost three-quarters of all projected expenses, but significant investments in nutrition and meals, game guarantees, and facility operations have nudged themselves into the conversation during budget discussions.
Non-student fee support now makes up close to 30% of projected needs, reducing, as a percentage of revenue, the reliance on student support. Significant increases in conference and NCAA proceeds, as well as football game guarantees, ticket sales, sponsorships and foundation support have all combined to bolster the resources available to compete at the FBS level. Salaries and Benefits - Contracted Services - Communications - Salaries and Benefits - Contracted Services - Subscriptions / Dues - $4,456,972 $298,000 $145,300 $12,329,054 $998,476 $427,800 Scholarships - Officials - Printing / Supplies - Scholarships - Meals / Food Products - Contingency / SAOF - $2,588,386 $287,250 $142,970 $8,246,750 $749,809 $331,520 Travel - Game Guarantees - Advertising / Promotion - Travel - Game Guarantees - Advertising / Promotion- $1,823,598 $265,750 $120,000 $4,012,063 $674,000 $251,500 Equipment - Meals / Food Products - Subscriptions / Dues - Game Ops - Facilities / Capital - Printing / Supplies - $472,211 $179,200 $41,890 $1,372,084 $612,250 $207,250 Game Ops - Facilities / Capital - Use (Ticket) Tax - Equipment - Officials - Communications - $456,623 $148,458 $16,343 $1,005,570 $587,500 $171,892 Contingency / SAOF - $15,083 Use (Ticket) Tax - $107,894
