The University of Alabama reported $143.3 Million in athletic revenues — more than 55/60 NBA and NHL teams. Forbes Magazine on the union issue is sports.
Besides football, what are the revenue sports at Bama? Are basketball and baseball pulling in millions of dollars?

Basketball might be slightly profitable, but I doubt baseball is.

When 95% of the state of Alabama will buy at least a UA hat, shirt and bumpersticker, I'm not shocked they did so well

Alabama moves Wal-Mart jerseys at a rate higher than all other SEC schools combined.

If they had a competent basketball coach it would be higher than that. That's what happens when you're the biggest AD in the richest conference.

So does nobody here understand the difference between revenue and profit? Revenue is the amount of money generated, not taking costs into consideration. They didn't profit $143 million, they actually only profited $34 million because they had $109 million in expenses. Don't get me wrong $34 million profit is great! But let's not get these numbers confused.

Alabama is a massive national brand now, so the bandwagon has brought in a ton of money as well from around the country.

No you're not. Since I moved to Florida, I may have seen 1 Bama sticker on a car to every 100 AU one.

Massive national brand? I travel a bit and never see anything Bama. In south Florida I see about triple AU stuff to Bama stuff.
I really don't care about this issue of who sells merchandise where other than the fact that I am just dumbfounded by the succession of Aubs on this post claiming Alabama is not a national brand. Why in god's name does your alleged and oppressive Alabama Media/ESPN bias exist if it weren't for the fact that Alabama sells? Where is ESPN's motivation? Are you saying that these dumb bammer bandwagoners that make up about 50% of the inhabitants of the very poor 22nd most populated state buy so much gear that they offset the potential of the rest of the country combined? I guess you will just have to say yes to that question to continue to live in the fantasy world you have built for yourself, but I wish you understood how foolish you look. Again, no one here is bragging about national brands or selling the most merchandise, they are just stating that these things exist. I'm surprised that is controversial for so many here.

I know they're proud of their softball and gymnastics programs. Those two have to bring in lots of folks. At least a couple hundred.
Then there's Skoal Juice Spitting, Marathon Checkers, and Gun-Rack Installing.
But I think 90% of their revenue comes from just the Spring Game alone...
