Prairie View A&M, which is about 50 miles away from Houston, led all 107 HBCUs in sports revenue in 2018 by generating $18.6 million, according to the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. That revenue ranks 149th among all college sports teams. To put it in perspective, the 21 Division I HBCUs generated about $214 million in revenue in 2018, while the University of Texas alone out-earned those schools, leading the nation in sports revenue with more than $219 million that year.
Wonder what the revenue numbers will be like post-Covid? Will their be realignment(s) related to the impact on revenue that the virus/shutdown have/will have on college sports?

From the PVAMU site:
"Revenue categories include ticket sales, contributions, rights/licensing, student fees, and school funds."
A huge chunk of that $18.6 million comes from student fees and other institutional support, not ticket sales or sponsorships, etc.
