Am I to believe that OU only makes 2mm per year?

Or that Tenn loses millions of dollars?


The expense column varies a lot from year to year, particularly when schools are involved in huge sports related construction.

UGA really needs to do something with their basketball arena. When they do, they'll have a negative hit to expenses for an extended period.

UGA made a lot of big investments in minor sports facilities in the 90's when Charles Knapp was president. Because of that we've needed to spend relatively little for quite a long time as they've held up pretty well.

For example, the Ramsey/SPACE center pool was top 10 in the nation facility wise for a long time. It's probably in the 10-20 range now, but that's still pretty solid for a 30 year old facility that we haven't had to spend much money on.

Folks in Louisiana have their priorities right! Second highest poverty rate, 26th in population density but 6th on this list. Gotta admire that right there...

I mean if life around you sucks out loud, you might as well have good sports teams.

Ohio State being #1 is no surprise. The cream always rises to the top.

I assume ND would be top 10 (or even top 5) if this included private schools?

Looks like $215 mil in revenue according to the Athletic.
