Longhorns Bring in the Big Bucks

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]6/15 UT Ranked Number 1 for Sports Revenue By Eric Kreindler Longhorns Bring in the Big Bucks | NBC Dallas-Fort Worth [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The UT at Austin's athletics program generated the highest revenue total of any college in the nation during the 2007-08 school year, according to a report released Monday in Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The Austin Business Journal reported the information which came from Athletics Disclosure Act forms.
Texas Longhorn sports brought in $120.3 million in the school year that ended June 2008. UT, OSU and the UF the only three college athletics programs during the school year to top the $100 million mark.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The bulk of Texas' sports revenue came from the football program, which generated nearly $73 million alone.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]1. Texas – $120.3 million

Total Sports Revenue is boggling.

UTX adds $48 million through other sports
OSU $53
UF $40
UM $42
PSU $38
AUB $30
ALA $31

OKST at least $32 million and keep in mind Boone Pickens Stadium only seats 48,000 about half the capacity of most of the other schools. They must buy a lot of wrestling tickets.

I'm surprised that Tennessee wasn't included in this list .... Neyland stadium holds over 100k people.

I'm surprised that Tennessee wasn't included in this list .... Neyland stadium holds over 100k people.

The Vols used Neyland one less time than the other SEC Big Dawgs. UTN only had 7 home games to the others 8. Which again underscores White trying to add an additional home game to ND's schedule. It makes a huge difference.

I'm assuming UTN just missed the cut on the Football Revenue as they were #9 on the Total Sports Revenue List. One more home game probably would have vaulted them up to somewhere between ND and OSU.
