The math is not difficult and 40MM in 2017 is conservative.  I've gone through this already.   Just the new Tier 1 contract, the BTN payout, and the Rose Bowl should be right around 40MM.  That doesn't account for the B1G Championship game, NCAA credits, Hoops contract with CBS, Playoff payouts, etc.  This dope of a professor also intentionally ignores the increase in revenue generated by having a [B]home slate[/B] in 2014 and 2015 consisting of Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Nebraska, Michigan State, Maryland, Wisconsin and Indiana.  Ya think that might add a few bucks into the coffers every other Saturday in the fall in the form of signage, concessions, tickets, parking, donations, etc?
 
This opinion piece written by an unapologetic basher of NCAA athletics is remarkably lazy and unscientific.  It would have been a great article to write had we wound up in the AAC.  All of that investment in facilities and stadium expansion/renovation for a chance to play Tulane and Houston week in and week out.
