According to USA Today and a matter of pure revenue the list would go like this:

1. Texas - $161M
2. Oklahoma - $129.2M
3. Oklahoma State - $117.8M
4. Kansas - $97.6M

5. West Virginia - $77.6M
6. Texas Tech - $76.7M
7. Kansas State - $72.9M
8. Iowa State - $68.1M

Baylor and TCU apparently didn't report, but it's probably safe to assume they are somewhere in the middle.

I find it fascinating that OSU makes close to the amount OU makes. In fact, they are #11 overall in earnings nationally. Kansas is strong here as well.

The others are about the same...decent amount of revenue, but small markets probably keep the revenue down. ISU rounds out the bottom at 48th nationally which isn't that bad really given their utter lack of exposure and other weaknesses.

I find the revenue comparison interesting because it gives us a glimpse at the relative potential of a program. The more money a program makes, the more money there is to potentially be made by the league at large. It points directly to fan support.

My suggestion would be to go hard after the top 4 here....UT, OU, OSU, and KU. Then I would look hard at ISU and WVU and be done with this nonsense.

Privates frequently do not report through the same services as the state schools if they report at all.

All of the numbers for revenue, attendance, etc. are in the Important threads in one titled "Realignment Just by the Numbers" and the most recent are in "Realignment Just by the Numbers 2015". They are at the top of this screen.
