The fact that Ole Miss brought in more than Clemson shows what a big #$% the SEC swings.

Surprised Wisconsin and Clemson are so low!

Wisconsin is one of the biggest punchers above their weight in CFB, and have been for a long time. It's strong academically, not close to a talent pool and difficult to recruit to, and doesn't have top of the line facilities.

I'm surprised Clemson is this low, but remember the data runs from 2015-17 and they had just recently become a player on the national scene.

One point to consider as well. These rankings should be viewed as a reference point instead of in absolute terms. There's a lack of consistency from school to school in how they allocate revenue, donations, expenses, etc. between sports (and even between general and athletic budgets)....

I don't know a lot about where the money goes or none of that but I do know that the number will drop after this year. Not sure I have ever seen a top tier program hire so many bad coaches consecutively but here we are.

This all day, they bounced back from the biggest scandals in the history of sports and they did it in less than 10 years

Between Big 10 fines, DOJ fines, NCAA fines, and settlements to victims, PSU paid nearly $200MM due to Sandusky. Yet, they were able to spend $$$ for an accomplished coach (with less revenue than us) all while we are concerned about a $9MM Pruitt buyout to be paid over 4 years.....

Clemson is not as large as a school. I've been to their stadium. They have very loyal fans though that fill those seats. Dabo worked out for them. He was able to coach his players up. He got wins with lower recruiting classes. Now he's pulling in top recruits. I imagine their revenue will rise.
