Who's Making All the $ in the NCAA?

[gblowfish]

Here's the list:
http://tinyurl.com/4ylhswn

Texas makes the most, almost $69 mill profit per year in football.
Louisville has the most profitable basketball program, almost $17 mill per year.

S-E-C has six of the top ten moneymakers, all in football.

Of the top 50 moneymakers, 12 are basketball programs. KU, MU or K-State is not among them. KU Basketball is 73rd biggest moneymaker.

Mizzou football is 35th.

Interesting stuff!

omg, this website strikes again...

Note: The data in these charts is from reports filed by each school with the U.S. Department of Education. As always when I post U.S. Department of Education data, I must warn you that although there are guidelines for how to report revenue and expenses, there is some wiggle room in terms of how to attribute facilities costs and broadcasting revenue. These are the only numbers available for every school, however, because private schools are not subject to public records requests but do have to file their data with the U.S. Department of Education.

Has the scoreboard suddenly become how much money the administration of xyz university has to pilfer away on self-indulgence? "Our integrity matters, but we want a HUGE raise because the money doesn't matter!" God forbid a player get $200. This system has become nothing but a money-grubbing group of university administrators that play coy about "it's not the money" and can't wait for the next check... damn the players.

This will change significantly when the SEC's new media deal, having been renegotiated for the addition of MU and Texas A&M, is finalized.

Yeah, they players only get free tuition/education, free housing, free clothing, free food, free medical care, and for those who are professional-athlete material - free professional training.

Boo fucking hoo.

The Big XII didn't become more profitable until it lost Mizzou and A&M, so I would expect the overall revenue of the SEC to go down.

Unless you have a full picture of what is included in expenses, and revenues, these numbers mean very, very little.

Boo ****ing hoo.

Agreed. The players are treated like royalty on campuses. They see plenty of the revenue schools bring in.

Compared to the amount of money made off of them, what they get isn't shit. Not to mention they can't get jobs because all of their time is homework, practice, or training, if they are even allowed to have jobs as athletes.

No one is forcing them to play.

I am assuming from your comment that you have never been to a college and been around the athletes.

Yup, damn the players if money that is going into our taxpayer supported schools are making their way to pay only the football players so that a few programs can have yet another advanatage in recruiting over those schools who won't be able to make those payments.

Reggie Bush, Cam Newton, and the entire UK and KU basketball teams just grinned.

Certain schools have always and will always have recruiting and facilities advantages over the other schools. CFB is about tradition and getting drunk on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon and watch some guys play ball.

Its always been that way and nothing will ever change that.

It's not the NFL.

And that's okay.

College athletes get more or less exploited in big-time college sports. I think that's fairly obvious. If you don't think so, though, it might be time to read this article: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/10/the-shame-of-college-sports/8643/
