It just makes me cringe. I think this list will change dramatically over the next 4 years. Maybe we'll crack the top 15 or just outside the top 10 of most valuable teams. Winning of course usually takes care of it.

The good news is...
Everybody knows that college and college sports exist only for educating young people to prepare them for good future jobs out in the exciting real world of tomorrow. It’s certainly NOT about making money for the universities, the coaches, the television networks, sports websites, the sponsors and endorsers, the office pools, the casinos, the gambling houses, or anybody else along the way.

Teach a man to fish, and nobody makes any money. Teach a man to play with a football, and see what happens.

Ugh. NCAA is nonprofit and makes most of its money from the NCAA basketball tournament and most of the revenue it generates gets redistributed to the universities.

Curious if the numbers they are using are football program only or are they athletic department as a whole?
As someone suggested, these numbers will change considerably for Nebraska with the dramatic jump in Big Ten share $ we just started getting last year I believe. These are the Riley years. Two sell outs for spring games plus a big jump in apparel money with the Frost hire and the ending of atleast one set of coaches'. That ought to bump NU up another $15 or $20 million over the Frost era. Of course our other sports are generating more revenues than some of our Big Ten comrades as well. And our stadium size. It should really show up by 2020.

Do these numbers include $ they get from boosters and tuition from students? I thought i read somewhere a few years ago that texas am jacked up the price the average student had to pay because they were doing renovations to the stadium. Seems weird they would have to if they have all that money.

Let me clarify. He's saying that if a man fishes for money he can be taught how to play football but if a man is taught how to play football he can't fish for money. It's the same lesson as "If a fish loves a football, where would they live?" Fish and footballs are incompatible no matter how much money they both make. Hopefully my gibberish helped.
