This way, I guess, although to be fair, it only says revenue. Not sure about profits:

As far as profits go, I found this, though this is for the entire athletic department, not just football.

We are not trying to destroy the ACC, if Clemson and Florida St. want to join B12, we take them and let them fill with UCONN and Memphis. We do not want all of the ACC.

SMU announced today that 800 season tickets remain available and no singles or mini-plans left for FSU. I believe they will hold ~33k with new endzone seating. Cheapest is $450 for upper deck
It is just a question. There is no right answer because it did not happen. Would have been interesting with the rumored SEC expansion limitation of only one school from a state if that would have held true if Texas would have accepted an offer from the SEC first. In my opinion, they still would have invited A&M later just because of the size of the state of Texas. But just something to ponder considering the size of the Texas brand.
Note: I am aware of two Mississippi, two Alabama, and two Tennessee schools. The rumor pertains to recent expansion.
Adding two of the biggest programs in the ACC would be huge, but how did UCF get that high?
Not even in top 15 according to this in 2022. SEC gave them a break not playing LSU, Alabama, Auburn or Tennessee but they do have Vanderbilt and Miss. St.
Hell, how did perennial B1G parasite Illinois make the list?
Câmon now, thatâs a joke. There is no standard or generally accepted accounting system for how college athletics programs should report from a P&L or profits standpoint. (They are after all part of a non-profit institution.) By way of example one school may charge their athletics programs several million dollars per year to rent their athletics facilities while others may charge nothing. Some may fund their cheerleaders, bands and drill teams through the athletics program while others do notâŠand so on and on and onâŠ
The simple fact is that UT-Austin takes in more $$$ than any other athletics program in the U.S.A. (and the IRS isnât gonna audit them looking for under reported profits.) So why would they want to show a large profit when all the other universities in Texas are constantly asking for a larger share of state funding? Being smart, they would obviously be motivated to under report their athletics profits in order to avoid such criticismâŠand why wouldnât they?
As part of a non-profit institution, profits are meaningless but more revenue$$$ means a more powerful program and that UT-Austin has in $pade$âŠ
Taking a conference option to backfill is not a good strategy. It would look desperate and would be expanding just for the sake of expansionâŠUConn would water down the conferenceâŠI love College Hoops but understand Football pays the bills and they offer nothingâŠ
Renu let it slip in the presser today that their is another major shift coming in two years.
Need to turn the direction of this athletic department fast or we will miss the train.
Fritz doesnât have two years. At the very least least we need to get to a bowl game.

Iâm curious about this.
Why in two years, specifically? What makes Dr. K a credible source on that?
ACC conference is most likely going to crumble in some manner, which to many pundits, is the last puzzle to conference realignment

Crazy how different the trajectory of UH couldâve been had we gotten into the Big 12 instead of Baylor after fall of the SWC
They spend more, yesâŠbut they are not most profitableâŠMy hardcore whorn family members say they often hear that they spend so much money, that it eats up a huge amount of their profitâŠNo way to ever know actual most profitable, because schools would never share those numbers. But BOY, do they love to spend, and brag about it!!
