Shortest CFB Pick-6 Ever? 🤢
The Revenue Disparity Is Bigger Then You Think
Jeremy
The Orlando Sentinel is running a series on the "Tough times: College sports and the economy." It is a very good read so far, and in their college football blog there is post today -- a must read for any college fan -- about the revenue each football school took in from 2008.
The total for the Mountain West Conference (MWC) was $276,800,202 a quarter of a billion dollars is not bad, but the top three schools alone are over $340 million. The MWC teams are listed in bold, and a few things surprised me.
First is that TCU was highest MWC and non-BCS school on the list and by a good margin. The biggest surprise was that Utah ranked seventh in revenue for the time frame.

There is no surprise that the BCS schools make more money but the amount is staggering, just look at the bottom of the list with Louisiana-Monroe who pulled in less then seven million!
This makes what any non-BCS school accomplishes seem to be even greater then we thought. Just look at Utah they defeated Alabama who took in $88 million which is more then three times what Utah brought in last year who was just under $27 million.
The list is after the jump.
