You just exposed yourself as a dumbass. Arkansas has a endless supply of money funded by Tyson and WalMart.

UF's UAA has given $61M back to the University since 1990. $6M was given back in 2010 and I believe $1M was given back last year. That's $7M in two years for the Vol and Arky fans.
If you take out student fees of $5M over those two years that's $2M returned. I don't know why you would take out student fees though.
Student fees are listed as $1.8M in Women's athletic fees, 0.65M in General Athletic Fees, and .032M in Golf course fees collected.
Women. Geez.
Not too shaby.
Also, the financial report doesn't show any revenues from the State of Florida.

That Forbes article is a fav of SunHog. They show UF profit at $47 mil but Arky at $37 mil.
Whatever floats their boat.
We are also third behind Texass and Bama in merchandise sales.
Who knew UT sold more t-shirts than Bama? I would have lost that bet.

That's like getting a bonner for the first time in your life by having a chick grind on you and she immediately jumps off of you giving you blue balls.

I think UT is the only team in the top 20 that had a losing record last season.

True, but that doesn't really provide any context because Harrisburg doesn't have a pro franchise either. Here is how Birmingham's TV market compares to some cities with pro franchises:
#40 Birmingham
#45 Oklahoma City
#47 Jacksonville
#48 Memphis
#51 Buffalo
#53 New Orleans
Birmingham could have supported a pro franchise up until about 10 years ago. The city had a remarkable corporate base for its size at the time with 6 Fortune 500 headquarters which was more than some much larger metro areas and had the money to support a franchise in one of the big pro sports. In fact, a study just a few years ago that measured what pro sports each city could support showed that Birmingham was one of just a small handful of metro areas that had either one or no sports franchises that could support a pro franchise in every major league sport except baseball.
Here's a study from less than 3 years ago that shows the current cities with an NFL franchise along side the small handful of cities that have the financial capacity to support an NFL franchise. Bham was on the list:

You do realize that your AD just changed the way your reported your revenue don't you? State didn't actually increase by that much.
That's why these reports are generally worthless. Each school does their accounting differently.

There are many of these list, one can google until the find one with the data parameters set that shine advantagously on your squad
ETA Harrisburg proves how absurd the idea that pro football would survive in B'ham.
Missing from the cut and pasted TV market data is Harrisburg/York ranking one before or one after B'ham/Hoover

What's funny about that is they get all that money and STILL can't win the SEC Championship in football or a BCS Bowl. WOW.

They aren't my profits, so it doesn't matter to me. Success is the primary objective.
I guess when you actually attend a school and graduate from it you are invested in more than just the athletic programs and hope that the university as a whole succeeds. Thats why profits from the AD matter and why many LSU fans take pride in the streak of no subsidies. Its not about just trying to get one more recruit to try and hang one more banner. Its about supporting a university that can give the kids on the field and in the stands a better future. Otherwise its just a pro sports team.

the question is who gets the most bang for the buck. who has the most success with the least amount spent?
personally, i would weight the sports starting with fb. i don't think the director's cup does that.

Harrisburg was ranked #41 because it covers the great majority of Central PA.
As for Bham, I'm not saying they would be an ideal candidate for the NFL. I'm just saying Bham not having an NFL has nothing to do with the metro area's financial ability, TV market, etc to support one. The cities with the $ signs in the last link I provided were the 15 cities without a pro franchise that have the financial ability (the metro population has the discretionary income) to support an NFL, NBA, or NHL franchise. In many cases they can only support a pro franchise in only one of the leagues at the same time but the bottom lone is they can support a team in those three leagues. In other words, metro Bham has the spending power to support a pro franchise. Bham's issue is that it's simply more interested in college football and this is why the NFL own't there.
