About College Sports Ledger
The business behind the game.
College Sports Ledger is an independent publication explaining how money moves through college athletics—and what those financial decisions mean for schools, athletes and fans.
What we cover
Our reporting and analysis focus on athletic-department finances, media rights, sponsorships, facilities, conference economics and the relationship between athletics and the wider university.
Our approach
We begin with public records, official financial reports, contracts, credible reporting and clearly identified source material. Then we put the numbers in context, explain the assumptions behind our calculations and separate reported facts from College Sports Ledger analysis.
Our standard
Big revenue figures rarely tell the whole story. We ask where the money came from, where it went, what obligations remain and which details were left outside the headline.
