2008 College Sports Revenue by Conference

by Admin

Thanks to a visitor for passing on the following info about total (gross) revenue by conference in 2008 as reported at NCAABBS.

You can see that in 2008, the Big Ten just edged out the SEC for the title of top overall college sports revenue conference.

Of course this wouldn't include the most recent big deal with ESPN the SEC signed, so, not sure the 2009 numbers. Plenty of money to go around though.
