The following data is provided by the US Department of Education. It covers the 2013-2014 school year, which is also the fiscal year for the athletic department.

Note: TCU, as a private institution, does not have to show actual numbers for revenue and often obfuscates that number to show every sport as "break-even", which is certainly not the case (football is the exception this year). Thus, I have simplified the numbers to reflect just the total budget spent on each sport during the year, not revenue.

2013-14 Fiscal Year Sport Total Revenue Total Expenses Net Big 12 Rank (Expense) NCAA Rank (Expense) TCU Football 40,451,397 34,654,689 5,796,708 2 5 Men's Basketball 6,761,637 7 44 Women's Basketball 3,854,942 4 24 Baseball 3,206,581 2 10 Total Athletic Spending 77,068,398 6 36

$77 million is a high water mark for TCU Athletics, which shouldn't be surprising at all. The athletics department spent $72 million the year before.

$40 million is also a record for Football revenue, as is the net income of $6 million. They spent $32 million on Football the previous year. There are only 4 teams in the country that spend more on Football than TCU.

Here are some other notes to consider:
