What the numbers say

Everything below is the school’s own filed figures for 2024-25, read against the 128 programs it is grouped with.

The cap against this budget

What maxing direct pay to athletes would cost

Paying the full $21.3M revenue-sharing cap for 2026-27 would take 39.1% of everything this department took in. The cap is a ceiling on what a school may pay its athletes directly, not a spending figure and not an obligation, and third-party name, image and likeness money is uncapped and does not count against it.

Who is on the rosters

Participation and enrollment as surveyed

368 athletes were counted at the school in the survey year, filling 258 men’s and 208 women’s roster spots across 9 sports. The two counts differ because an athlete who plays two sports fills a spot in both. Enrollment is 23,047. Football is the largest single line, $17.9M of revenue against $17.9M of expenses, which is 33% of what the department earned.

“Raise support for the University of Texas at San Antonio with funding for their college athletics through thematic events associated with the various sports teamsboth womens and mens that the citys businesses and citizens will cheerfully support.”

The link to The University of Texas at San Antonio comes from what this organization says it exists for, in the mission statement on its own tax return, plus its registration in the same state. Names the school in its own 990 mission ('university of texas at san antonio'); athletics/NIL language in the 990 mission; same city (San Antonio).

What to hold against these numbers

Three things that change how the figures above should be read.

1

The survey year comes before revenue sharing started

The revenue-sharing cap is a ceiling on what a school may pay its athletes directly ($20.5M for 2025-26, $21.3M for 2026-27), not a spending figure and not an obligation. Third-party NIL is uncapped and does not count against it. No federal athletics survey covers a revenue-sharing year yet; the first lands around spring 2027.

2

What the survey is

Every college that takes federal student aid and fields a team files this survey each year under the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act. It is a federal filing obligation rather than a public-records request, which is why it covers private universities that the NCAA-based databases cannot reach. The figures are the school’s own reported numbers for 2024-25, not audited by the Department of Education. Reported revenue includes direct institutional support and student fees, so every department in the survey reports revenue at least matching its expenses. A surplus here is not profit.

3

What a tax return can and cannot show

A Form 990 shows what an organization raised. It never shows what any athlete was paid. No figure in the funder section is anyone’s compensation or the value of any deal. There is also no single donor-money line on the form: some organizations book donor money as contributions, others as program service revenue or fees for services, which is why total revenue leads.
