The lacrosse program generated $222K in revenue in FY2025, with $201K of that coming directly from institutional support, indicating minimal ability to sustain itself through external or earned sources. At $528K in total expenses — led by $253K in coaching compensation — the program ranked last among all 25 FBS schools and last among the 13 Power Four programs offering the sport, spending just a fraction of the $2.6M FBS average. The result was a $305K operating deficit, reflecting a program that operates at a relatively modest scale within its competitive conference.
