Hey Hovpen.... The Big Twelve made about 12 Million last year on the bowl games alone. Thats the conference as a whole. Take a look at the total money the TV packages all inclusive comes to in this country every single year. Talking about Billions of dollars here. Now factor in the dollars TV pays to do Volleyball. Football is subsidized???? YOu bet it is, by TV. They make a fortune or they wouldn't play it. The motivator is money. It should be attached to the NCAA logo$
If I remember the research I did when I did an original article on this, only about 85 Division I schools make money on their football programs. That is a far cry from the schools that support the program. And, the Big 12 is only 12 of those schools. (There are 12 schools aren't there. You never know with some of these conferences.) Yes, somebody makes money off of it. How much TV revenue did Pitt State, Ft. Hays, Kansas Wesleyan, and Emporia State get last year?
How much did KU make last year on their own?
