A Financial Profile for OSU Wrestling

Posted on by

This article profiles the financial health of OSU’s wrestling program in terms of revenue generation and expenses, and trends over time.

The graphic below shows the competition-related revenues and expenses for OSU wrestling from FY 2001 to FY 2013.  The revenues charted below include ticket sales, media revenue, etc., but not donations as they are a part of non-competition revenues.  Expenses shown below include meet costs, travel, staff salaries, etc., but not facility construction or construction debt costs.  As a reminder, OSU’s fiscal year begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th, thus FY 2001 started on July 1st 2000 and ended on June 30th 2001.

OSU Conference Team Championships

Here’s a look at OSU’s past conference team championships.  Wrestling is the dominant sport with the decline of men’s basketball as the primary challenger.  Among women’s sports, only gymnastics and softball have earned championships for OSU.

Wrestling (21) – 2014, 2013, 2012, 2010, 2007, 1994, 1992, 1984, 1983, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1973, 1972, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965

Men’s Basketball (12) – 1990, 1984, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1966, 1958, 1955, 1949, 1947, 1933, 1916

Baseball (4) – 2013, 2006, 2005, 1952 (Won 9 Northern Division titles)

Softball (1) – 2005

No decade has produced more than 7 team championships at OSU but that may change.  The current decade already has 7 championships with several years remaining.  With the strength of programs such as baseball, gymnastics and wrestling, several championships still might be possible before the decade is through.
