Message: [QUOTE="Tank, post: 4122316, member: 10507"] MBB is also profitable. That and FB pay for everything in college athletics, as no other teams in any sports make positive net profit from their operations. The fact that SEC schools give much of that profit back to FB is a moot point if they are bringing in enough profit to help finance the other teams, like WBB. In WBB the SEC has overage profits that fund the sport such that they can spend more than others to acquire coaches and build facilities. Look at the Mulkey hire, and SC keeping Staley. Both are among the highest paid in the sport. SEC FB and MBB revenues absolutely fuel the other sports. SEC looks soon to be in the $100 million per year revenue stream. That so far outpaces many excluding the B1G, all others falling behind fast. SEC FB is the king of revenue, along with B1G FB. [/QUOTE]
