Harvard Athletics Near Break Even After Profitable Football
Harvard officials anticipate the athletics budget to break even this year with football contributing about $50,000 in net surplus and baseball adding $5,000 to $10,000. Hockey is expected to pay expenses and yield a few thousand in dividend, while other sports and freshman teams run deficits. Total costs for buildings and improvements exceed $10,000 to $15,000, but improved hockey and football receipts may offset prior deficits, aided by large crowds for Princeton and Dartmouth games and a big gate at the Carlisle schedule removal.
