Texas is a $$$$$$ making athletic department - Kinda makes you wonder if $$$ is king why are their sports - both Men and Women's all winning the NC and Big 12 title every year?  :D

 

Unlike the poor schools like Baylor and A&M that have to pinch every dollar just to put teams on the field :D

The Big 12-2 made $221 mil. The do have 4 less teams though. The SEC Network money hasn't started rolling in yet so that should increase the SEC's number.

It's safe to say that most D1 schools (SEC, Big XII, ACC, Big 10, PAC 12) make a good living at sport.

....and right on cue.

 

It's a brand that's all.  Year in, year out, sell more merch than any other university in the Country.  They were the highest grossing athletic department even before the ESPN deal.   Just the way it is.

 

But you are right, it has been almost a decade since their last MNC in their highest grossing sport.  I guess that beats seven and a half decades though...
