This is amazing, the discrepancy. I wonder if A&M had stayed in the B12 if they would have seen anything close to this?

They say things are bigger in Texas. This rings true when it comes to the profit of the Texas A&M athletic department, who made an astounding $57.2 million during the 2015-16 fiscal year.
The Aggies profit margin is almost three times as much as the next SEC member, Florida, who brought in $20.1 million during the same timespan. Arkansas ($19.3 million) and Alabama ($18.7 million) follow, with the Crimson Tide having the largest amount of expenses at more than $145 million.

Texas A&M’s numbers could be a bit skewed due to a large number of donations for varied facility upgrades that have been going on in College Station. Since the Aggies joined the SEC, Kyle Field has undergone many changes, including enclosing the open end zone.
Helping Texas A&M and LSU ($17.6 million in profits) during this time has been the rare baseball program that has turned a profit. For most athletic departments, fielding baseball as a sport is seen as a loss financially, but the Aggies ($1.67 million) and Tigers ($.155 million) were able to make a profit on the sport during 2015-16.
