Orlando Sentinel - How much revenue did your favorite Football Bowl Subdivision school take in in 2007-08? This chart will tell you by Josh Robbins

Today's Orlando Sentinel includes the second installment in the newspaper's six-part series "Tough times: College sports and the economy." In the piece, we look at the issue of subsidies for athletic departments. At a time when universities across the country are cutting back on academic programs because of the recession, will the subsidies that help fund intercollegiate sports programs become a political issue?
The chart in this blog entry ranks all Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly known as Division I-A) schools by the total revenue they took in during the 2007-08 reporting year. These revenues include generated revenue (such as proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships) and allocated revenue (such as tuition waivers, money from student fees and direct institutional support.)

Strong showing by the entire conference, 10 in the top 35.

Notre Dame's NBC deal must be why they're raking in the dough all the way up at 14. :wink2:

The Big Ten could get all 11 teams in the Top 40 if Northwestern would just build a larger stadium for visiting fans. :biggrin:
