Interesting that Texas is tops in spite of being rather lousy this year.

Since everyone says the Cowboys are also soaking in the dough, I guess that's just how they roll in Texas.  Lots of money and mediocre football.

Texas hasn't been bad long enough to see any significant drop in attendance and revenues.  Let them suffer through a decade or more of mediocrity and see what happens.

I'm actually shocked that we're still that high.  That must be using last year's numbers (which weren't great, but much better than this year).

SEC is 70% in the top 10?

It is based on last year.  What numbers are you refering to?  Attendence?  Of course, empty seats don't mean no sales, just means people not showing up.

I expect this year's numbers to be up.  Why?  Because "monies were made available" by prominent alumni to pay off Dooley and pave the way for Gruden.  How do I know this?  I read it on Volnation.  So it must be true.

Therefore, expect a large jump in revenue from these prominent alumni who donated large sums.  It must be true, because "everyone" said it was.   

Seriously though....I don't expect a huge difference.
