Ohio State ahead by $27 million.

I just read in SI that the Ohio State athletic program brings in a $105 million dollars and the Florida program comes in second at $78 million dollars. I'd sure like to know where those numbers came from and what gets counted as revenue and if that is a net profit figure.

From the size of the discrepency, either ---
* the SEC has a bad TV and Radio deal, or
* UF must invest more in other less profitable, smaller, sports, or
* UF must have more and better paid staff and facilities.

I'm not gonna comment on the upcoming game because I don't want to jinx anything and I figure vengeance should be a powerful motivator for the Ohio State team.

Don't know about Florida, but as for Ohio State, where my wife's family lives--

Columbus is in the middle of a big state, with lots of people. The pro sports teams (who are not Buckeyes) live in the opposite corners of that state. So, believe me, Ohio State is the biggest game in town. And, as I said, it is a big town.

Do you know how many time I have gotten Ohio State hats, sweatshirts, pens, pencils--I have a map of Ohio made of wood. All given to me by loving in-laws.
