how much of the $2.2MM difference between UT and CU is due to the fact that UT has more sports, thus more TV revenue (thinking specifically of baseball here, but there may be other sports as well), and the NCAA Basketball Tourney?
CU football was on TV all but one or two times last year, which I would be shocked to find was 10th in the league.
Is college baseball ever on TV? I don't think I've ever seen it except during the college world series.
It's on quite a bit, actually. Mostly on ESPN 2 and the Fox sports channels. I was flipping around the dial a couple days ago and LSU/Alabama was on.

I'm not answering your question directly, but I do point out that Baylor has a baseball team, yet UT earns 44% more TV revenue than the Bears. So it's not just about baseball.
Of course there are lots of factors. Baylor football was on tv 7 times in 2009, only 2 of which were on a major station (ABC/ESPN), while CU was on ABC/ESPN 5 of their 11 televised games. That's probably a million or two spread right there, which they likely made up for in baseball and basketball revenue that CU did not have.
The last public numbers are for 2007. Who knows what the revenue spreads looks like for 2008 & 2009, or what the projections look like for 2010. But it's fairly obvious that UT will be at the top.
The issue becomes one of a vicious cycle for those at the bottom.
The cumulative gap between UT and the basement dwellar could be $12M over the span of the last four years. The rich get richer and the poor fall further and further behind.
You guys sound like a bunch of commies :lol:

But I believe they're in the postseason now with conference tournaments, regionals, or super-regionals. Point being, I don't think it's on during the regular season that much, and even if it is, I can't imagine that schools are making all that much money off regular season TV games.
:ban:You can watch baseball all season long starting in mid to late Feburary on most of the Fox Sports channels, and UT is on there a lot along with other big programs such as UVA. I actually enjoy watching college ball a lot as it tends to be a much quicker game.
