Message: [QUOTE="atom58, post: 1608350, member: 5312"] The total revenue comes from ticket sales, donations, and TV money. Since this is the total revenue per program and conference, what is hidden in all this is the effect of stadium size. Conferences with larger football stadiums can earn more money [I]as long as paying customers are in those seats[/I]. The Big 10 and the SEC have on average the largest stadiums with schools like Michigan and Tennessee for instance having more than 100,000 per game. FSU's stadium holds 80,000 but Florida's holds 90,000, etc., and also in the ACC the four smallest stadiums belong to Wake (31,500), Duke (40,000 after recent expansion), BC (44,500), and SU (49,262). The fact that the Carrier Dome can be configured to allow large basketball crowds makes a major impact in SU's basketball money. I think the ACC stadiums are smaller on average and even at a program like Duke the basketball arena seats only 9,314. [/QUOTE]
