Auburn football raking in the dough

Auburn's football program generated $59.67 million in revenue in 2007-08, according to a report released Monday by Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal. That's the sixth highest total in college football.

That figure puts the Tigers third in the SEC and up there in some pretty good company. Notre Dame brought in just $120,000 more dollars that school year.

Alabama, for those who might be interested, was eighth in football revenue, with $57.37 million.

Here's a top 10 list for football revenue (figures in millions):
  1. Texas: $72.95
  2. Georgia: $67.05
  3. Florida: $66.1
  4. Ohio State: $65.16
  5. Notre Dame: $59.77
  6. Auburn: $59.67
  7. Michigan: $57.46
  8. Alabama: $57.37
  9. Penn State: $53.76
  10. LSU: $52.68
In overall sports revenues, Auburn ranked seventh nationally, having brought in $89.31 million. Texas, again, was first, earning $120.28 million.

Welcome home AB!! I am pretty shocked at Auburn's ranking in terms of money brought in by the football program. Auburn fans literally put their money where their mouth is when it comes to football.
