Uh, kentucky and arkansas bring in more revenue than TAMU. LINK / Which means A&M is 9th out of 14 teams on revenue brought into the SEC. Maybe you should rethink your position on revenue sharing.
your link said that a&m had $35m in ticket sales in 2013. in football alone, a&m sold 697,000 tickets.

at an average of $90/ticket (it is likely more), that is over $62m.
regarding the "contributions" column on your link, donations to a&m athletics goes to the 12th man foundation and not the school/AD. the 12mf manages the money and pays the school.

Yeah, that's how every school does it. SC gets around $12m a year from the Gamecock Club that's not reported, and the same goes for every other athletic department in the nation. I hear the same argument every year from Clemson fans insisting their IPTAY donations aren't counting towards their revenue and that they more than make up for the SEC money SC is getting.

No, it's $35m.

So either TAMU is too stupid to add or it's not really "selling" 697,000 tickets at $90 a pop. You tell me which is more likely.
