Why do Alabama and osu have such low margins? Do the bagmen eat into it?
September 11th, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
How did you surmise that OSU has low margins based on the chart? Their "profit" compared to their "revenue" is approximately two percentage points lower than UM's. Bama on the other hand has the same "revenue" as UM, but decidedly lower "profit."
September 11th, 2018 at 10:50 PM ^
Its too bad that tOSU's profit & revenue can't match Michigan's.
Oh well, somebody has to root for the underdog.
September 12th, 2018 at 12:17 AM ^
You can if the coaches stop buying stuff off the internet for other special activities.

Got your wife beater shirt on enabler?
September 12th, 2018 at 9:41 AM ^
Maybe the investigation of Dr. Richard Strauss and hush money paid to his victims is eating into Ohio's profit margin?
September 12th, 2018 at 8:45 AM ^
yeah ... $40M in legal fees every year do eat into profits.
Go Blue!
September 12th, 2018 at 9:06 AM ^
Thought the same exact thing.
September 11th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
This counts "contributions" as revenues and so is not a reliable way of estimating value. One big Texas sized oil soaked donation can skew these stats. What you want to know is annual revenues and costs.

I am a bit surprised Wisconsin is that low and behind Iowa and MSU. The Badgers have a strong hold on that state, perhaps the Packers cut into it?

This was posted as a comment in the earlier Forbes thread, if anyone is curious.

That post did not come up in the search

Odd that South Carolina is #15 but there's no Clemson. Guess I would have expected to see Virginia Tech and UCLA on here as well, but otherwise it looks like all the usual suspects. Basically an NFL-size upper half of the Power Five.
September 11th, 2018 at 9:09 PM ^
Especially since UCLA has the highest paying apparel deal
September 11th, 2018 at 9:04 PM ^
All I get out of this is that we are dead tied with Alabama, except that they also have to pay their players and potential recruits or possibly simply "yearly team benefits" at a cool $16M.
September 11th, 2018 at 9:13 PM ^
How is Oregon so high?? Surprised they're even top 25.
September 11th, 2018 at 9:23 PM ^
Phil.
September 11th, 2018 at 11:42 PM ^
^ There it is.
September 11th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
As a Badger state resident I’d guess your take is pretty accurate. The Packers have a following here that seems to span all social and economic devices. It’s like the state religion.
September 11th, 2018 at 10:05 PM ^
A&M huh?
...why?
September 12th, 2018 at 1:54 AM ^
Most of metro Houston roots for TAM. The DFW areas is split between UT, TCU and Baylor but there is enough population across Texas that pumps UT up.
September 11th, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
Imagine what M financials would look like with Alabama type results.
A fairly down decade anyway you look at it, and we still print money.

Idiots who criticize Jim Harbaugh's salary, need to learn to understand that the is the CEO of a major corporation and as such, has a primary responsibility to represent the company in a way which generates earnings and increases market cap for that compnay. He has earned every penny of his salary and more.
September 12th, 2018 at 2:10 AM ^
Harbaugh is cool but your comment reads like capitalist propaganda
September 12th, 2018 at 8:49 AM ^
yeah ... check out the great colleges in all the socialist countries /s Sheesh
Go Blue!
September 12th, 2018 at 9:00 AM ^
Does the Sparty amount include the Nassar payouts?
