BOSTON COLLEGE

Boston College men’s basketball finished 13-19 in head coach Jim Christian’s first season at the helm, a five-win jump from Steve Donahue’s pitiful last season in Chestnut Hill. But that wasn’t Christian’s only success—the Eagles also brought huge returns to the Athletic Department’s pocketbooks. After a down year in 2013-14, the program returned to profitability, according to the University’s Equity in Athletics Data Report. The program’s revenue and expenses both totaled about $69.3 million. This is the fifth consecutive year that BC has not reported a profit from its Athletics Department. – Michael Sullivan, BC Heights. Read More.
