ECU sports teams made $3,468,885 in revenue, but they did have to spend $3,465,245 for expenses. So, the good news is that athletics program made a profit of $3,640, and that’s much nicer than losing money (which some schools do).
Likewise, money made for women’s athletics can vary quite a bit by sport. Here’s what the comparison looks like for women’s sports at ECU.
In addition to giving other data about the sports below, we try to include each sport’s ranking on our Best Schools for a Sport lists when one exists. College Factual’s sports rankings are a little different than the other ones you’ll find on the Internet, since our analyses take both athletics and academics into account. This ensures that while you’re participating in sports programs at the school, you’ll also be getting a solid education.
