A friend sent me this fascinating link (http://blogs.newsobserver.com/statenow/florida-state-virginia-lead-acc-in-athletic-department-revenue) that breaks down the revenues and profits of every school in the ACC during the 2011-12 fiscal year. Duke is #4 in revenues.
Florida State – 81,444,039
Virginia – 81,321,219
North Carolina – 78,830,350
Duke – 78,604,895
Clemson – 66,988,424
Boston College – 66,197,029
N.C. State – 65,507,243
Virginia Tech – 64,801,681
Maryland – 62,612,370
Miami – 62,099,601
Georgia Tech – 60,253,966
Wake Forest – 48,776,185
But Revenues and Profits are not the same thing. While Virginia turns a nice, tidy $6 mil profit off its $81 mil in revenues, FSU reports no profit at all from its league leading revenues. Duke and UNC each only make a few hundred thousand from our large revenues. Maryland, by the way, after crying poor and fleeing, actually is right in the middle of the ACC pack in terms of revenues.
Equally interesting is to see how all BCS schools (http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/12/alabama_and_auburn_stay_among.html#incart_river_de fault) are doing. Of note from this report is how our new comrades coming in the next year or two are faring from a revenue standpoint.
Louisville will instantly become the biggest revenue generator in the ACC when they join. They brought in $87.8 mil, compared to ACC leader FSU's $81.4 mil.
Syracuse's $73 mil puts them right in the top third of the ACC, just behind Duke's in revenues. Pitt's $56 mil though will make them second to last in the conference, ahead of only lowly Wake Forest.
By the way, Wake's $48 mil in revenues places them 6th to last among all BCS schools. Amazingly, Ole Miss from the mega-rich SEC, is third to last. Cincy and Temple, who some had touted for the ACC to add instead of Louisville, are dead last in BCS revenues, the only BCS schools to generate less than $40 mil in revenues.
