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.

I'm going by the US Department of Education's website which has the budget numbers for the last fiscal year.

RedHawks don't let Buckeyes spoil their Senior Night
Miami scores three goals in a span of nine minutes in the first period in 4-3 victory.

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.
