I have to explain this to my clients about 20 times per year. Such a tough distinction for some people.

Thank God KU made 70 million last year. They have to pay Turner Gill!

You'll note that I didn't describe it as a surprising sequence.

I also find it amusing that Wickedson is always making comments along the lines of "people in the midwest still say that? I haven't heard anyone in NYC use that term in 5 years." When referring to slang terms, but he's Mr. "Lolz" and "pwnt".

I learned about the difference between profit and revenue when I heard MU's basketball team made more money than the football team last year.

That's interesting. According to "The Business of College Sports", MU basketball had revenues of $9.5 million. Footbal had revenues of $25.4 million.

Mizzou football earned a profit of $11.6 million compared to $1.6 million for Kansas.

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.

[Saul Good]

KU basketball was the 26th most profitable basketball program. I was surprised they were that low, but Kentucky was only 2 spots above them. Might have to do with older arenas.

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

http://businessofcollegesports.com/2...ball-programs/

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.

Again, I assume you're taking your rankings from the cute girls business site.

KU doesn't report their media numbers to the Dept of Ed.

It's really not that complicated.

[Saul Good]

KU has a $65 million contract over 10 years for media rights. Evin if you assume that Mizzou has no additional revenue via media rights and that it's 100% profit for KU, that means that Mizzou has $15.8 million in profit versus $13.2 million for KU.
