The 1914 was financially profitable for the associated students of the University of Oregon, which realized revenue over expenses of $4,575 from the team's 7 games.[20] When $3,000 was deducted for salaries and equipment, this resulted in net proceeds of $1,575 for the year for the school.[20] This amount was applied to the student body debt, which exceeded $2,000 before the season.[20]
A detailed accounting was published for the October 17 game against Washington State College, which brought in gate receipts of $1,277.50 against expenses of $1,345.15.[21] For that game, played in Portland for a larger potential gate, the visiting Washington Aggies received a guarantee of $650.[21] Field rental added about $320 to the tab, while train fare and hotel accommodations added another $275 to the bill.[21] The game's three officials were paid $65, and slightly less than $40 was spent on various types of advertising, resulting in a net loss of $67.45 to the school.[21] The poor financial showing — only about half of the previous year's receipts — was attributed to "hard times" and a reduction of ticket prices from $1.50 to $1.00.[21]
The most profitable game of the season for the football program was the game against Oregon Agricultural College, which generated a $3,100 net windfall after the split of the gate.[20] The most costly contest of the year was the season opener against Whitman College, which resulted in a $350 loss after guarantees were paid.[20]
