It's a good thing Texas' AD is incompetent or we'd all be at a big disadvantage. Hook 'em.

It's based on 2011-12 numbers, before they moved to the SEC. Look for them on next year's list.

Only 41% of the revenue generated by OSU athletics comes from the football program.
That's the smallest percentage of any school in the top ten on that list.

Yes.
The reason Ohio State completely owns Michigan on the football field is soley due to cheating.
Feel better?

Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Good for you. Maybe there is hope after all.

Yes. It has to be cheating. Clearly running an arm punter up the gut on 4th and 3 from behind the 50, fumbling the ball on several occasions, and fielding a team of 3 star athletes makes the other team a cheater. You must be some kind of genius with your wisdom.

For a state that has so many kids grow up playing a plethora of sports, including baseball, basketball, softball, volleyball, track and field, et al, I can't understand why, when people get older, they stop caring about said sports.

a) people like winners and for the most part, those teams don't "win" for Alabama
b) most people in this state are conditioned to support football 110% and I can only assume they think of it as a zero-sum game so any support for anything else takes away from football, which is obviously unacceptable

I'm not sure story problems are Gordo's strong suit.

Not necessarily. It just means you're not reinvesting as much as the next guy. For instance.......Georgia taking 20 years longer than anyone else to to get half an indoor practice facility.

While I was already aware that Tex brought in more money than OSU it still amazes me. OSU prints money, I can't imagine where Tex is bringing in that much more than us.
