Title: "Alabama, Penn State most profitable athletic departments" Post by: Chechem on March 23, 2012, 05:38:20 AM http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/22/bama-penn-state-most-profitable-athletic-departments/
Quote BusinessOfCollegeSports.com website reports that 47 of the 66 athletic departments with a football program in a BcS conference made a net profit for 2010-2011. There were actually 48 schools listed by the site on the positive side of the financial ledger, with Notre Dame, which is a member of the Big East in other sports besides independent football program, coming in inside the Top Ten among individual institutions. Quote The six-time defending BcS conference [ THAT WOULD BE THE SEC :) ], though, is certainly not hurting financially, with eight of its 12 members in the Top 26 in net income and just one athletic department — Ole Miss — that didn’t realize a profit. Tennessee is on the very low end of the SEC profit spectrum with a meager $14,447; the next lowest total from a member of that conference is South Carolina at $762,726.

Every conference in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision is a BCS conference by definition. People use the phrase actually meaning an "Automatic Qualifier" conference (i.e. one whose champion has an automatic birth into a BCS game).

I wonder how many Pro franchises are as profitable as Bama and Penn State? |
