Ohio State Athletic Department Hauls In Record $336.1 Million Revenue in Fiscal Year 2025
The Ohio State athletic department brought in a school-record $336.1 million in revenue for fiscal year 2025, with a $15.7 million surplus after a $38 million deficit in FY2024.
Ohio State Athletic Department Hauls In Record $336.1 Million Revenue in Fiscal Year 2025
Ohio State's athletic department brought in more money than ever before in 2025.
During fiscal year 2025, which included Ohio State's run to the 2024 college football national championship, Ohio State athletics hauled in $336,077,887, the most in a fiscal year in school history. The department netted $15.7 million after $320,394,965 in expenses. FY2025 began on July 1, 2024, and ended on June 30, 2025.
“As the collegiate athletics model continues to evolve, successfully navigating the financial landscape is a must and I am proud of everyone within our program who made last year a success,” athletic director Ross Bjork said in a statement. “While there will be continued challenges to our economic model, we will strive to be best in class by continuing to innovate and stay aggressive in generating new revenue streams while also managing our expenses as soundly as possible. We are grateful for every Buckeye fan, donor, season ticket holder, and all students who support our program in numerous ways.”
The $336.1 million fiscal year broke the previous record of $279.5 million set in fiscal year 2023. But with only six home football games during the 2023 season, revenues dipped in FY2024, and Ohio State suffered a $38 million deficit after bringing in $254.9 million in revenue. The Buckeyes made an extra $22.9 milllion in football ticket sales alone in FY2025. Ohio State played nine total home games during the 2024 season, eight during the regular season and its first-round College Football Playoff game against Tennessee.
The Buckeyes also brought in a record $68.2 million in donor-funded contributions, up from $52.5 million the previous year. Media rights revenues from television and radio also increased from $52.8 million to $64.9 million in year two of the Big Ten's seven-year, $7 billion media rights deal with FOX, CBS and NBC.

Grading Ohio State's 2025 Defense Position-By-Position
Ohio State's defense receives high grades across the board on our end-of-season report card, though a few plays were left on the table for the defensive line and cornerbacks.
Grading Ohio State's 2025 Defense Position-By-Position
The Matt Patricia experiment proved to be a smashing success for Ohio State in 2025. However, as important as schematics are, the most important element to high-quality football is high-quality players. The Buckeyes had high-quality players on their 2025 defense.
Kayden McDonald, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles and Caleb Downs have a great chance to give the Silver Bullets a first-round 2026 NFL draft pick at every level of the defense. More All-Big Ten performers like Caden Curry and Davison Igbinosun supported them.
Ohio State finished the season with the No. 1 scoring and total defense in college football. The Buckeyes’ defense fueled a key victory over Texas to open the season and stifled almost every attack Michigan offered in The Game. Even as the offense sputtered in the Big Ten Championship Game against Indiana, the Silver Bullets battled time and again to keep a win within sight.
Miami wore down Ohio State’s front in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals and salted away a win with its running game, but that’s one of the very few blemishes on the résumé of an elite 2025 Buckeye defense. Spoiler: There are lots of As on this report card.
Defensive Line - Grade: A-
Linebackers - Grade: A
Safeties - Grade: A+
Cornerbacks - Grade: B+
