You come up pretty short.
Texas A&M was #1 at $93.6M for 2014.
This number is probably misleadingly low because many Aggies, myself included donate to the the 12th Man Foundation which is a private entity. It took a lot of cash to build 500+ million in football facilities.
Our "big brother" texas university took in a paltry $41 million.

Your 12th man donations were 22+ million for equal comparison to the OP's and 70+ million for major gifts(Stadium pledging coming to fruition on the year)
You guys are awful with your numbers in this thread
ETA, on this after finding out what the op's actual number was including would be the 92/3 million from A&M

Any average Joes first thought after hearing this:
Would be "wow, Texas A&M must be really good, they must be churning out championships, all that money they should be a top program?"
Then you measure you're dick to Texas for no reason.

You aren't paying $500 million in cash for those facilities though, A&M financed the renovations with bonds. Same as every other school.
