ACC Football No Cash Cow
After writing about the football finances of the SEC and Big Ten, it’s the ACC’s turn. The numbers are drawn from schools’ reports to the U.S. Department of Education on the state of their athletic departments’ finances for July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010. See the note at the end for more details on the data.
I don’t think the schools on top of the revenue list in the ACC will surprise anyone:
| Football Revenue | |
| Virginia Tech | $31,155,870.00 |
| Clemson Univ. | $30,994,503.00 |
| Georgia Tech | $24,870,064.00 |
| Univ. of Miami | $24,631,029.00 |
| Univ. of North Carolina | $22,077,550.00 |
| North Carolina State | $22,018,738.00 |
| Boston College | $19,184,902.00 |
| Univ. of Virginia | $19,004,653.00 |
| Florida State Univ. | $18,958,861.00 |
| Duke Univ. | $16,109,324.00 |
| Univ. of Maryland | $11,540,368.00 |
| Wake Forest University | $10,227,922.00 |
I also don’t think you’ll be surprised to hear that the average revenue in the ACC ($21m) is less than half that of the SEC ($50m) and only slightly better than half that of the Big Ten ($41m). Read the rest of this entry
