So I'm doing a presentation on the NCAA and money distribution and was wondering if anyone could help me out....
I need your schools revenue - costs for football etc. interesting websites or rules associated with football and how the money is spent.
thanks to those who reply.

How are you defining "costs"? Be much, much, much more specific. You're likely to encounter so many caveats to render this as a useless measure. Costs, by whom?

All you need to do is combine resources...

USA Today has a great web site regarding NCAA conference/money distribution

And then you got this hard to navigate databaes to figure out expenses/costs for sports...

I would also suggest you refer to the study UNH Athletics issued a few years ago. The links from TT are excellent resources but they do not tell 100% of the story, as I learned when I compiled research on this very topic. Speaking of which, make sure you look into the percentage of student fees and/or direct institutional support form the athletic budget and the student body sizes of various schools.

There are some schools that fund over 75% of their Athletic Budget off the backs of students. This is something that we must look at as that Student Loan bubble prepares to pop.
