    Largest athletic budgets in college sports

    according to US Dept of Education, Title 9 reporting requirements, as of 6/31/07. You have to look up each school individually and get the info but this is the best order I could determine:

    REVENUES:

    1.Ohio State----------$109,000,000
    2.U of Florida--------$108,000,000
    3.U of Texas----------$105,000,000
    4.U of Tennessee------$ 95,000,000
    5.U of Michigan-------$ 89,000,000
    6.U of Wisconsin------$ 83,000,000
    7.U of Alabama--------$ 81,946,000

    That's crazy that both Alabama and Auburn are in the top ten. Every other school in the top ten is the clear cut first choice school in a substantially larger state. The state of Alabama sure loves their college sports apparently...
