Across the three years prior to last season, Texas A&M averaged annual revenues of $148 million, the most of any program in the nation. That not only tops the Longhorns; it leaves them in the dust. Over the same time period, Texas football averaged $133 million in revenue, making the Longhorns a distant second.

And indeed, from 2014 through the 2016-17 season, the Texas A&M athletic department earned $260 million in contributions, nearly double what any other school made in that time. For reference, in those years, Texas had total athletic contributions of $123 million; Florida, which ranks second in the category, totaled contributions of $138 million. Texas A&M, meanwhile, allocated $119 million of its total contributions just to the football team.

The surge in contributions is the Texas A&M faithful’s response to fundraising efforts started in 2014 to fund some major construction efforts: Kyle Field underwent a $485 million renovation that made it college football’s third-largest stadium, and another $68 million was put toward building new stadiums for softball and track and field.


UF is #10 with $67M in profit from 2014-2016. #4 in the SEC

I guess that crap about contributions not being as big as a lot of top football schools was nonsense.

I assume you mean donations. There are only a few schools that rank higher.

My aTm friend just sent this to me.

We used to be Top 5 Nationally and Top 3 SEC. I expect us hoping to make Top 20 in the next couple years.

The football landscape in Texas really changed when A&M joined the SEC. U. of Texas used to own A&M. Now things are reversed with A&M on top. The annual Texas - Texas A&M game has gone by the wayside with the new conference alignments.

All this time I understood Omar was a nole. I guess that's wrong, and he's simply a Jimbo knob-slobberer.

He is like the Ox of Nulls. Still thinks of his ole coach while touching himself late at night.

In other news, petroleum engineering and geology may be lucrative fields after all.

:lmao: - yep and water’s wet.

A&M has been the highest revenue program for about a decade. Omar’s acting like this is new information.

Curses! All this excess of money will allow Jiimbo to become a top-5 HC. Expect to be awash with TV pundips singing his praises. This may take awhile 'cause Jimbo's nature will delay him.

I know you are aware that the Almighty One said that it is not necessary to have new and/or the best football facilities. I think that was his way of saying you do not need any football facilities to be near the top!

I dont know what they mean.

In one paragraph they say UF "contributions" are 138 mil, later they say revenue is 111 mil.

Are revenues not contributions? Are contributions not revenues? I don't know what they are trying to say.
Are they talking all contributions to the university not contributions to UAA? Hard to tell.

Typical journalist. Very sloppy.

Not sure A&M can really claim to be on top when they are terrified to play Texas on the field.

Imagine what the $$$ would be if we actually fielded a competitive football team.

What is it with TA&M?

They've won nothing in FB in forever. They have to have the all time worst results in $$$ spent to win for a program!

they ensure they hire ADs and staff that actually care about being competitive in football.
