Some quick hits, SU reported total $73M in revenue for the 2011 reporting period, good for 35th in D-1A. Louisville is the only other BE team in the top 35.
Note for both schools is that their media contracts are $10M to $20M less than every other team in that first 35.
SU is one of only six programs to report revenue greater than $20M for both the basketball and football programs. Those schools are in order of total men's teams revenue: Louisville, SU, Duke, UNC, UK, and Arizona.
For 2011 basketball is up $6.9M over 2011, football up $9.9M, men's sports over all up $17.6M, women's overall up $3.0M, the department as a whole up $21.8M.
What's remarkable is that SU experiencing this growth having the BE media contract, a football team playing to 70% capacity with some of the lowest ticket prices in the country, not a huge booster presence, and no state underwriting of the department.
