UK basketball generated less than Vandy football? It's no wonder football drives conference expansion.

All you know need to know about how much more football matters economically than basketball is the FOOTBALL is what destroyed the Big East. There is no conference in America that cares more singularly about basketball than the old Big East........and the reason it was destroyed was football.
Basically the equivalent of the SEC destroying our football because we just have to have good basketball.

Since these are 2015 numbers, let's compare the 2015 numbers for football (they went up substantially in 2016 but we should compare apples to apples here):
2015 Total revenue for the 14 basketball teams was $161 million.
2015 Total revenue for the 14 football teams was $900 million.
So, yeah, that is why football controls what goes on for the SEC.
