Oregon State athletics produced its “first yearly surplus in 11 years,” with a surplus of $7.43M for FY’24, according to Nick Daschel of the Portland OREGONIAN. The school reported total revenues of $120,312,417, and expenses of $112,883,911. The 2024 revenue and expenses are Oregon State records. Helping “bolster the bottom line” for 2024 was the debut of remodeled Reser Stadium. OSU reported ticket sales for all sports of $13M in 2024, “significantly higher than” the $9.95M from 2023. Oregon State’s revenue is “expected to drop” for its 2025 NCAA filing, because of the Pac-12’s collapse. In 2024, Oregon State generated $34.05M in media rights revenue. Football produced $21.1M, followed by men’s basketball at $4.95M. Daschel noted football had a net profit of $23.2M and “was the only Oregon State sport to turn a profit.” None were particularly close, either, as the “smallest net loss was men’s golf” at $668K. The sport with the “largest annual deficit” was women’s basketball at $2.91M (Portland OREGONIAN, 2/4).
