(For previous installments on Big Ten Expansion, visit here and here).
One thing that I found interesting about the Pac-10 analysis was how few of the athletic departments ran overall surpluses. Football made money and was in the black, but the departments were balanced.
In the Big Ten? Not so much.
Big Ten Financial Analysis
I would say that Texas and Notre Dame come out favorably in this examination based on overall revenue and how well their football programs have performed financially (and in Texas's case, on the field as well.)
Of course, I probably should mention that it appears that Texas will not be joining the party, if Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez is to be believed.
I believe that this is a fluid situation, so we will have to stay tuned.
