College Sports Revenue: Texas Tops Ohio State
1-liner, College Basketball, College Football, Other College Sports June 17th. 2009, 12:00pmCollege Sports: The University of Texas athletics program generated more revenue than any college in the nation during the 2007-08 school year. The remainder of the Top 10: Ohio State, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma State. That’s four from the Big 10 and four from the SEC. We all know who wins that battle on the football field, though. In the classroom, it’s a different story. (Austin Biz Journals)

But does this include OSU’s revenue in the middle east?

Southerners are uneducated!!! Shocked, I mean really, I’m blown away.
Interesting site to compare states on a variety of topics:

Kentucky got a D? Man, I’m shocked, because we really deserve an F.

If you go the original website and look at the what the entire report says, it basically says our bottom feeders are dumber than their bottom feeders. And I have no problem than that.
Oklahoma State is #10, but if you take out T. Boone Pickens, they’re probably in the mid 90s.

Good point. I wonder if they factored in his temporary stop payment to his donation.

Why is kentucky a D when it has a C or better in all the other catagories?

Hey, I’m not the one using my blog to present high school education statistics, and use the negative aspects (namely, the people who don’t go to college anyway in the South aren’t smart) to infer that Ohio State graduates are somehow smarter than Ole Miss graduates.

Word.
Besides, every academic list on athletes you see is bs, and contradicts another one.

Off topic, but on the eve of the US Open the USGA announced it’s coming back to Oakmont in 2016. SWEET!!

I was amazed that UGA football made more than Florida and was second only to Texas. If only they could beat FLA on the field…then we would be onto something.

Like I implied with Oklahoma State, they probably include “charitable donations” along with ticket sales, merchandising, etc..
Did UGA recently find a wealthy benefactor, or did some corporation give the athletic department a donation?
June 17th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Not that I was aware of. I think it was due to merchandise money and ticket sales and such.

Notre Dame was only $800,000 behind LSU.
Which, coincidentally, was the same number of points they lost to LSU by in the Sugar Bowl 2 years ago.

indeed…oakmonster’s the best.

This was for the 07-08 school year, so Georgia beat Florida that year (2007). I think Georgia being that high has to do with them making the run at the end of the 07 season and ending up in the Sugar Bowl. Florida was a four loss team that lost to Michigan in the Cap One Bowl. That’s why UGA had the spike.
