OP is calculated.

I have always heard there are only a handful of profitable men's basketball teams much less women's basketball teams. Which this list had every single schools women's teams making a couple million a year. Are they not accounting for something that was usually factored into that number?

Remember...the dollar amounts are "average" for the time period 2020-2022, not absolute.

Auburn ok, but I’m a little surprised Tennessee made the top 10.

No.

There are two articles recently that are way off on A&M.

This is one of them. A&M brought in $279MM in operating revenue.

The other article was TV ratings and viewership. Even in a down year with mostly 11:00 games, A&M was 14th in viewership.

Not sure where these people get their stats.

It’s listed in the article. They list football and basketball but all sports are actually covered in the total revenue per school.

Ah, I was wondering how Tennessee was listed at #14 behind A&M, AU, UF & LSU despite generating larger revenue then all of them in Football & Basketball.

Is that #1 for revenue?

A&M and Texas have been swapping #1 and #2 for some number of years now. The $279M is ahead of Texas's $271 they reported but there is an anomaly this year as there is an subsidy reported by A&M as a loan which is unusual considering the profits after operating expenses is much more than the subsidy.

At any rate, this "ranking" as it were just take revenues from the big 3 sports and add them up. A&M does take a penalty there for seating 35k or so students in prime seats at a subsidized price. So it is not surprising A&M is down the list a little.

Texas would be the runaway number 1 overall if revenue from merchandise was thrown into the equation as they have many more sidewalk fans than A&M.
