Been interested in how much money is involved in big boy football recently -- revenue, salaries, expenses, bonuses.
Sharing some thoughts and links I found interesting.
College Fooball: Revenue, Profits and Coaches Salaries
The Equity in Athletics Act requires annual reports from colleges and universities on athletic finances.
Total revenue (ALL SPORTS) for SEC schools, top five listed:
Florida $108,000,000
Alabama $104,000,000
LSU $100,000,000
Tennessee $ 93,000,000
Auburn $ 87,000,000
Georgia $ 81,000,000
Total revenue for the top ten schools is $900 million dollars.
And remember, these numbers are from 2008 and include only the SEC universities.
The article goes on to say:
For this year*, these are the top 10 highest paid coaches in college football:
Mack Brown, Texas $5,000,000
Bob Stoops, Oklahoma $4,300,000
Urban Meyer, Florida $4,000,000
Lane Kiffin, USC $4,000,000
Nick Saban, Alabama $3,900,000
Les Miles, LSU $3,800,000
Jim Tressel, Ohio State $3,700,000
Mark Richt, Georgia $3,100,000
Kirk Ferentz, Iowa $3,000,000
Bobby Petrino, Arkansas $2,900,000
*note, this was written October, 2010. So assuming he really means THIS year.
Will dig around and find their bonus details soon.
