Any time there’s a story around Syracuse Orange finances, you can bet on Chris Carlson having something extensive published on the topic — and so was the case again here, with data from the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act becoming public for 2017-18.
Some of the top-line numbers Carlson shares: Syracuse had $93.8 million in athletics revenues for 2017-18, versus $77.1 million in expenses. He also notes that football was the only sport to be in the bottom half of the ACC in funding. Both Orange men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse spent the most on their programs of all schools sponsoring the sport, and by a considerable margin in both cases.
