The NCAA finished FY23 with $1.3B in revenue and $870M in net assets, according to Sportico’s Eben Novy-Williams and Daniel Libit, who note the record-setting figures are largely attributable to the NCAA’s investment portfolio, which returned $63M after losing $72.3M in FY22. As of August 31, 2023, the NCAA had $815.3M of financial assets available within one year of the balance sheet, based on meeting $45.8M in cash needs, $29.6M in accounts receivable and its investments and the DII reserve totaled $54.7M, up from $51.6M in FY22. Media rights revenue increased slightly YoY to $945.1M from $940M, likely due to escalators in existing contracts. DII expenses totaled $57.8M, up from $52.0M in FY22. Year-over-Year, distributions and grants fell from $15.6M to $15.3M, event operations expenses increased from $6.9M to $8.2M, compensation jumped from $5.2M to $7.3M and professional serves expanded from $2.9M to $3.9M.
