Mizzou basketball earned a profit of $4.2 million compared to $5.1 million for Kansas.
Mizzou was more profitable than KU by a factor of more than 2, and that is before the Gill buyout.
These numbers come from US Department of Education filings, BTW.

That site admittedly has no information on third tier media rights as admitted here:

Please read below before viewing the financials.
About the data: All of the data is from reports each school files with the US Department of Education. It is the only available data for both public and private universities. However, there can be variances in how each school chooses to report data. For example, each school can decide for itself whether to break out television revenue by sport or leave it in a generic revenue category, which causes variances. After speaking with dozens of schools the most common practice appears to be attributing the majority of television revenue to football and a portion to basketball. The most common split is 65/35.
There are also variances from year-to-year, so be careful when comparing this data to last year’s data. For example, Florida State’s football program showed a gain of approximately $14 million from ’09-’10 to ’10-’11. When contacted for comment FSU explained that in ’10-’11 they broke out contributions by sport, which they hadn’t done previously.
Although far from perfect, this data is the only available data for all Division I programs (with the exception of the military academies). We just want to make you aware of the possible variances and will let you draw your own conclusions.
Please note: we did not rank non-AQ schools last year, so those schools will not show a rank for ’09-’10.
Media rights are the place where KU dominates all the other schools in the Big 12 besides Texas and Oklahoma.
But I can see why you MU fans keep referring to this site. This girls who run it are pretty, I'll give you that.
