"Florida State and Louisville represented the ACC on the list of schools making over $100 million. Pac-12 schools included USC and Washington. Along with Texas and Oklahoma, Kansas and Baylor were others from the Big 12 on the list."

Kansas? I understand this list is for schools that generate $100M in revenue, which does not mean had $100M in profits...but Kansas generated $100M? They only get 20 home games in basketball.

OU is in 5th place…. I believe that is probably the highest revenue ranking OU has ever had.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the crash of oil & natural gas prices impacts OU’s revenue and donations?

I hope phases II & III of our stadium renovations can move forward by 2020?

Just shows that college sports is doing well financially.

The revenue disparity in this conference is what will doom it. Texas and OU earn a bunch, but it falls off pretty quick from there.

According to that report, every Big 10 and SEC school averages over $100MM per year. Collectively, that amount of money puts either of them at about the 175th richest country in the world by GDP.

Is that impressive? Can you name 175 countries?
That probably gets you down to the likes of Chad and Niger. Do they even have product to constitute a GDP?

Kansas has a solid deal for their 3rd tier rights...the Jayhawk network. Also have to have a solid licensing deal as a national hoops brand. Not too shocking.
