I understand Dawn Staley has a great team. But how much money does that sport truly bring into the University. All that TV money is still being split among the entire conference with 13 other universities.
If this is where Women’s Basketball is headed it’s no telling what that means for other coaches in time.
I’m just totally shocked with her 25 million dollar contract.

Yes. I'm happy to see it growing. But to your question, SC women's bball generated approximately 2 million dollars more than our Clemson men's bball team generated. So I would think if Poppy can rake in that, then I'd have no problem paying him 4 mil.

Maybe they were forced to do it because of another school’s offer. It just seemed to come out of nowhere. If the money is there I guess it’s fine. But at some point the cost of coaches of every sport is going to be even more outrageous.

Coots Women's BBall has the highest attendance in the nation. Iowa comes in 2nd. The 200k total annual home attendance has been broken 2 times and USofC has 2 of those with TN being the other, I think.
"The University of South Carolina women's basketball team had a record-breaking 2023-24 season with an average attendance of 16,067 fans per game. The team sold out five home games, which was a program record."
That is probably double our Men's and likely 5x our ladies.

If you take numbers from few different places, they say Clemson bball revenue was about $11.5m with an $8mil investment, $3.5m profit. Coots Womens had same revenue of $11.5 but their expense was about $5.6m. This comes very close to $2m more profit then Clemson mens.
There is a Post Courier link below. You can follow some links from there for the numbers. I had to read several for the above.

Oh, Clemson women had about $4.5m revenue and they said they lost about $1.3mil in revenue.

But that is just for one year. Prior to 2024, the Lady Coots were losing $5M/year (posted further down in this thread).

Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark really have done a lot for the sport in raising revenues. Dawn is on eof the biggest names in women's college basketball. I'd say it's a high risk high reward investment.

I would have to say a ton. Every game is a sellout with tons of merch and food. Their games are always the prime slots on Sundays for TV. A good bit on espn or a network opposite pro football.
As for facilities, not much considering most is paid for by men's bball. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if we were like that.

Look at the box scores of their games and you will see they have between 16-18,000 people at every game. They are making money and her status as the best coach in the country is worth a huge amount of money in terms of exposure.

Probably someone even could be Pro WBB program came after her and SC paid 4 million to keep her at SC. Unfortunately for us it is probably earning its own way with money left over. I’m not a fan of D Staley but she has become a National Coach with a National program. I’m sure she is also using a lot of NIL money to recruit these star players.
