Not only is Louisville basketball the most profitable basketball program in the country, it’s more profitable than the football program at any Big East school. It’s also more profitable than any football program in the ACC or Pac-10! Keep in mind, these numbers were for the season before Louisville basketball began play in a new arena.
The top ten consists of 2 Big 12 football teams, 2 Big Ten football teams and 6 SEC football teams. The ACC doesn’t have a team until Virginia Tech football at #26. The Pac-10 follows closely with Washington football at #27.
Twelve of the top fifty are basketball programs. I was actually surprised to see the number so high.
Ten of the twelve SEC football programs are in the top fifty. Only Mississippi State (76) and Vanderbilt (T-132) fell lower.
Nine of the eleven Big Ten football programs fall in the top fifty. All of the Big Ten football programs fall in the top 70, with Northwestern at #56 and Purdue at #63.
University of Oregon falls at 39 for football but is at the bottom of the list, living in the red, at #138 for basketball. They must have been saving up for the new artwork on the basketball court.
You can follow the jump for the complete list, but the football programs in the bottom thirty are all ACC or Big East, with the exception of SEC competitor Vanderbilt. This highlights a point I’ve been trying to make for awhile about how the divide between haves and have nots is not simply drawn at the line between AQ and non-AQ schools. There is vast disparity between teams in AQ conferences as well.

Note: The data in these charts is from reports filed by each school with the U.S. Department of Education. As always when I post U.S. Department of Education data, I must warn you that although there are guidelines for how to report revenue and expenses, there is some wiggle room in terms of how to attribute facilities costs and broadcasting revenue. These are the only numbers available for every school, however, because private schools are not subject to public records requests but do have to file their data with the U.S. Department of Education.
Thanks to my research assistant Spencer Anderson for helping me compile this great data!

No way..Notre Dame has an exclusive contract with NBC..The athletic department is fudging the books big time to cover up profit margins..Notre Dame likely has more revenue than any of the BCS schools. Through independent status/exclusive contracts thay are making a fortune. The Irish do not want to share revenue in a conference configuration
burntorangehorn
February 11, 2012 at 11:13 am
Err, no. Notre Dame does not have more revenue. Their contract is worth a lot of money, but the total revenues don’t compete with UT’s conference media revenue share, third-tier revenues, and marketing (including apparel sales) income.
Jonathan Gwinn
February 13, 2012 at 2:01 pm
If What you say is true..then why hasnt Notre dame joined a BCS conference? HMM.. Why?- Because recent additions to BCS conferences like WVU, TCU or Pitt would be more desirable than Notre Dame??? Everyone knows why….its about $$$ and Notre dame will not split iits revenue.

Good Article….
I just don’t trust the numbers supplied by the U.S. Department of Education data.
This is what is sticking in my craw….Louisville vs Kentucky Hoops…..
Louisville Basketball : $25,890,003 Revenue
Kentucky Basketball: $16,781,239 Revenue
Kentucky basketball is worshiped much more all over the south.
Kentucky – 23,500 Arena – #1 in National Attendance Every Year
Louisville – 22,000 Arena
Broadcast Games
Kentucky – 52 Radio Affiliates
Louisville – 13 Radio Affiliates
Yes Louisville plays in a “bigger b-ball conference”….but that does not even remotely come close to explaining the $9,000,000.
How Louisville makes $9,000,000(50%) more revenue just doesn’t make sense. So I don’t know how accurate these numbers really are.

I call BS.
Vanderbilt is only breaking even. Yeah, it’s Vandy, but how can you NOT make money in the SEC on football?
Florida State football makes less money than Iowa State basketball???
UConn basketball at #123???
The University of South Carolina makes slightly more money on basketball than Kansas and slightly less than Kentucky??? They haven’t won a tournament game since the Frank McGuire era.
I’m curious as to what the real numbers are.

Whatevr r-tard put this list together didn’t factor in that schools like FSU have most of their revenue and expenses on the University’s books and not the athletic department’s. Example: Jimbo Fisher is a State employee, but Will Muschamp is not (he’s an employee of the external, Gator athletic department).

Kentucky doesn’t have suites, which puts it at a serious disadvantage when it comes to basketball revenue generation. I detail it more fully here: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/03/28/how-louisville-makes-twice-as-much-money-from-bask.aspx. These figures are directly from Kentucky athletic’s own reports.
