OK, Ohio State spent $424,350 on men's hockey last year for operating expenses. I'm assuming that doesn't include scholarship money or coach's salaries, which the US Department of Education doesn't itemize by sport.

I still think hockey could very easily turn a profit at the 7-8 thousand attendance mark--even with a higher proportion of lower cost student tickets, and I'm willing to bet that it's either turning a profit right now or is damn near turning a profit right now which is why the AD seems so complacent about it's slide into the abyss.

Average attendance has been 4282 per game this year. Assuming a rough ballpark figure of 282 unpaid, 500 students ($6) 500 groups of ten or more ($4) and 3,000 adult tickets ($11), that's $38,000 in ticket revenue per game. Times that by the 18 home games, and the program has grossed $684,000 in ticket sales alone. That's before counting any concession money, or radio television revenue.

OXFORD ? It's true that Miami University's Ryan Jones and Justin Mercier, the top goal-scoring duo in college hockey, each spearheads a RedHawk line that packs a punch.
But as the Ohio State Buckeyes found out Friday night, Feb. 29, the relatively new line of Nathan Davis, Andy Miele and Jarod Palmer isn't too shabby, either.

I love it when the announcers don't realize we can hear what they are saying during "commercials breaks" when they don't broadcast them on line. I keep holding my breath for them to say something they shouldn't over the air. :lol:

I believe they know and don't give a shit who hears them.
