Note: Louisville fans don't really travel for the regular season. They were non-existent for instance at the BET. They travel to bowl games, which isn't that hard when you're talking about a short drive (10 hours to Florida, 8 to new Orleans). USA Today finances...

Pay close attention to the ticket revenue and contributions jump in 2011 for Louisville. They went up $25.5m in revenue in 2011, but the ticket sales and seat contributions skyrocketed $20m. All Yum money.
Louisville averaged $12-13m in tv rights/licensing for the 5 years prior to that.
UConn was at $15m-23m.
Also, I didn't ask for the numbers of combined tv rights / licensing. I don't want to know about the numbers that include IMG or Nike. I want to know about straight tv rights. Can you find that for me? Otherwise, it's pointless to talk about it...
