Something weird's going on in Tallahassee. Florida State reported EADA revenue for the 2018-19 athletic year of nearly $200 million - enough to rank 3rd among all college athletic departments in revenue for that year. Yet Seminole fans will tell you their school is strapped for cash. What gives? Let's see if we can figure it out...
Equity in Athletics Data (EADA)
Here's the EADA data for the last 2 years, which is broken out by sport:| Year | 2017-18 | 2018-19 |
| Baseball Revenue | $6,076,428 | $7,466,680 |
| Basketball Revenue | $23,550,761 | $24,453,445 |
| Beach Volleyball Revenue | $930,014 | $1,060,193 |
| All Track Combined Revenue | $5,181,616 | $5,619,389 |
| Football Revenue | $87,510,028 | $68,893,857 |
| Golf Revenue | $3,940,685 | $3,340,678 |
| Soccer (W) Revenue | $2,590,332 | $3,192,377 |
| Softball Revenue | $2,444,750 | $2,860,820 |
| Swimming Revenue | $2,977,495 | $3,576,912 |
| Tennis Revenue | $2,379,907 | $2,637,520 |
| Volleyball (W) Revenue | $1,593,290 | $1,983,171 |
| Total Men's Teams Revenue | $117,887,541 | $100,569,860 |
| Total Women's Teams Revenue | $21,287,765 | $24,515,182 |
| Not Allocated by Gender/Sport Revenue | $38,337,644 | $73,322,159 |
| Grand Total Revenue | $177,512,950 | $198,407,201 |
In other words, despite a drop in football revenue, the total revenue for the athletic department increased by about $21 million. Also, while there were small increases in revenue for baseball (+$1.4M), basketball (+$1M), track, soccer, softball and swimming (each about +$0.5M), the vast majority of the increase came from "non-allocated" revenue.
What is "Revenues Not Allocated by Gender/Sport"? From the 2019 EADA user's Guide, it includes "any revenue which cannot be tied to a particular sport", such as:
- alumni contributions to the athletic department (not targeted to a particular sport)
- investment interest income
- athletic conference money
- radio and advertising sales
- royalties
- signage or other sponsorships
- fundraising activities
- institutional, state or other government support

The 2018-19 season isn't posted yet, and the 2017-18 total revenue, while close, is not an exact match for the EADA number (differs by about $9 million). That said, there are some interesting trends we see in this table, such as:
- ticket sales revenue remains strong compared to pre-2012 revenue
- contributions are way up from previous years - more than double 2015, in fact!
- FSU enjoyed a huge bump in rights and licensing last year (up $10 million)
That said, throwing more money at a problem just makes it a more expensive problem. Or, would it have made Willie Taggart a better coach if FSU had paid him more? What's the missing piece?
