I am guessing different institutions report differently (whether booster aid is "football revenue" etc)

but there were some big dollars brought in by football

a sampling

Montana brought in 7.5M
Mont St brought in 4M
App St 4.5 M
NDSU 2.3M
Delaware 5.5M
Ga Southern 700k

I also noticed the Montana athletic department finished the 06/07 season 2.5 million in the black.... I guess that means we won't be hearing about the "deficit" anymore ;) :)

that is some good revenue for out football program! i am sure our attendance spike and the big payout from michigan have a lot to do with that

the data is from 06/07 school year

I am guessing App will rake in more during this football season 07/08

what all is counted in that? ticket sales, merchandise, contracts, etc? broader, less broad?
