UCLA's women's basketball revenue is the fewest of Final Four teams
The UCLA Bruins have set a single-season win record this season but the Bruins lag behind other elite programs in terms of revenue.
There’s no question that the UCLA Bruins have played like one of the best teams in the country, with the Bruins set to face the Texas Longhorns in the Final Four on Friday. But UCLA’s women’s basketball program hasn’t been as profitable as other elite teams. The Athletic’s Chantel Jennings released a story on Thursday comparing the finances of the Final Four team’s for the both the men’s and women’s tournaments.
None of the programs have gotten less revenue this year than the UCLA Bruins. It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that the top four revenues all come from the men’s teams, with Illinois leading the pack with a revenue at $35. 3 million.
Arizona is at $29. 8 million, with Michigan at $21. 2 and UConn at $11.
9. UConn’s women’s basketball is the top earner on the women’s side, with $8. 5 million in revenue.
