Nebraska’s 2016-2017 fiscal year athletic department revenue ranked No. 23 nationally among reporting public universities, according to a USA Today database released Thursday.

NU’s revenues of $120,205,090 ranked seventh in the Big Ten. Its expenses — $112,571,632 — ranked 24th nationally and eighth in the league. Iowa’s revenues ($130,681,467) and expenses ($128,869,211) ranked 18th and 15th nationally, respectively.

The USA Today database does not including reporting from private schools such as Notre Dame, USC and Stanford, all of whom would presumably have big budgets and revenues sources. It’s doubtful any private school could top No. 1 Texas, which took in a nation-leading $214,830,647 in revenue and spent a nation-leading $207,022,323.

Ohio State and Michigan were Nos. 3 and 4 nationally in revenue and Nos. 3 and 2 nationally in expenses. Four Big Ten schools — Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin and Penn State — ranked in the nation’s top 10 in expenses. Penn State was 14th in revenue, while Wisconsin was 15th.

Key part of Sam's article in Mavric's link: 

The Huskers’ revenue stream is likely to receive a major bump in the next fiscal year, when a full share of Big Ten distribution money kicks in. According to documents obtained by The World-Herald, NU got a little more than $26 million from the league for 2016-2017. Michigan’s athletic department announced last week it received a $51.1 million distribution from the Big Ten for television agreements. Nebraska now gets the same as any full-share school.

We're not done with the full fiscal year yet. This ranking changes for the better for NU next year.

A $25M bump - not sure if that's the right number or not - would put us in the Top 10-12.

With $25 million addition NU would be #13 in revenue

I imagine their expense rank will increase by quite a bit too. Although they'll drop $1.8 million per year in expenses minus what Youngstown state pays around February next year ;)

The funny thing I just discovered is we pay Riley more per month even without including his and Pelini's current salaries. Riley gets $170k - salary. Pelini gets $150k - salary. What a s#!tty contract on our part.
