Quote:No Big Ten athletic department raises and spends more money than Ohio State and Michigan - approaching $200 million each. But none of the programs are small.

So much money is collected from TV, ticket sales and donors that - in a rarity in college sports - some of the Big Ten's biggest athletic programs operate without any subsidy from student fees or other non-athletic university sports.

A big part of the bill is the cost of scholarships for student-athletes. But more money is spent on coaches than on those scholarships.

Financial reports schools are required to file with the NCAA provide some insight. Cleveland.com gathered the latest reports submitted within the last few months, for the 2016-2017 school year.

Not really a surprise for Maryland. Way down the list.

I was surprised RU wasn't last.

The only reason RU isn't last is because they are borrowing massive amounts of money from the general fund.

About what I expected for Sparty.

So I looked at budget v. the Director's Cup final standings for 2016-17:

1. OSU #2 DC $185.4M
2. Michigan #6 185.2
3. PSU #8 144
4. Wisky #16 143.4
5. Minnesota #30 116.4
6. Northwest.#36 NL
7. Nebraska #37 120.2
8. Illinois #38 97.4
9. Purdue #41 84.8
10.Indiana #47 106.1
11.Maryland #50 94.9
12.Iowa #51 130.7
13.MSU #53 126
14.Rutgers #116 96.9

Some comments:

1. Where do Iowa & MSU spend their $?
2. Purdue only has 20 teams....just guessing but I would think any team you add would cost a minimum of $1-2M/year? So.....
3. Rutgers----24 teams while getting a $33M subsidy? East Coast mentality.......
4. Does not include football, as far as I can tell

EDIT---Looked at this a little more....does include football results.....interestingly, Nebraska was top 10 from 1995 through 1998......only other Big 10 school that has ever been top 10 (Dates to 1994....other than OSU, UM, PSU) was Minnesota, in one year.
