Most Profitable College Football Teams

[TnScooby]

These numbers are from December of 2010 so it might have already been posted somewhere, but here are the 12 most profitable NCAA Football teams from 2009-10..I found this very interesting and was blown away by the actual amount of money involved..It is absolutely amazing to me this never really gets brought up with these numbers involved..Even more impressive to me is the fact that 7 of the 12 are SEC teams..Thoughts???

Georgia at #2, surprising. South Carolina in the Top 12, surprising.

 

[UTvol53]

Is Texas's going to increase even more with this Longhorn Network thing?

 

[SDV]

We've slipped quite a bit; winning will raise us back up

Quite likely, probably one of the reasons they're doing it

They sure are mediocre for making so much.

That could be said about every team on the list if your definition of "mediocre" is Texas.

 

[OrangeDog]

If you do the math, we pay our players a lot less than everyone else on the list.

 

[Velo Vol]

I don't believe all the schools account for their expenditures the same way, so the list isn't necessarily comparing apples to apples.

 

[TOP]

SEC has 7 of the top 12.

Not much different from the power rankings

 

[TnScooby]

Georgia at #2, surprising. South Carolina in the Top 12, surprising.

These 2 surprised me as well..Especially Georgia at #2..Who woulda thunk it..

I don't remember the specifics, but Georgia does some weird things with their accounting that accounts for the larger profit.

Has to do with how they categorize their expenditures on facilities projects, as I recall.

 

[Slydell]

If I didn't know better, I'd think all those dollar signs might be a contributing factor in the super conferences that are poised to take over.

Come to GA. Any sports store you walk in to is wall to wall red
