re: 2012 revenues per USA Today

If nothing else, it clearly shows the haves and the have nots. Only a small % subsidize less than 5% of the AD. There are several in the 5-10 range and then after 50 or schools in total the numbers fall off a cliff and the other 75%, including some BCS schools and 60+ FBS subsidize more than 25% of their program let alone profit.

Looks like there is an Elite 15 or so in earnings, a "big-time program" area fro 16-50 and then the trash left over.

Makes Saban's idea of a class 1 FBS division make a lot of sense. These are businesses with vastly different models.
