Among the largest schools -- the nine with at least $90 million in operating revenue -- the biggest winners were Texas, up 32 percent to $138.5 million; LSU, up 32 percent to $100.9 million; and Texas A&M, up 33 percent to $98.1 million, according to a review of athletic department financial records.


A&M is that profitable in spite of the product they put on the field?

quote:

LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva, 56, said the Tigers’ 2007 national football title is still driving revenue increases. “Everything stems from the championship,” he said in a telephone interview from his office. “We increased ticket prices, we increased seat-licensing revenue, and we had a lot of licensing revenue generated by the championship that spilled over into subsequent years.”

And if things don't get better soon he'll see what it's like on the other side of that fence.

if they can convince their fans to squeeze their balls to show solidarity with the team, they can convince them to ponu up a few extra bucks
