Last Year’s 5-7 Texas Longhorn Football Team Made More Money Than Most Of The NFL
I’ve been in Austin for 2+ years now, and it seems I still haven’t fully grasped how big of a cash cow Bevo truly is. Despite being a wildly mediocre 41-35 program since Colt McCoy’s arm inexplicably turned into a boiled noodle during their national championship loss to Alabama and having a game day atmosphere comparable to that of a Web.com Tour event at DKR, business is a-booming for Texas Longhorn football.
Charlie Strong, his 5 core values, and their 5-7 record brought in $121M in revenue last season, and pocketed over $91M in profit. That was nearly $25M in front of the second biggest money making operation in the NCAA, Alabama, and more than 25 of the 32 teams in the most lucrative business in all of sports, the NFL.

8 years ago at 4:35 pmThat I am actually surprised more big college teams don’t, due to the fact that their players worth millions of dollars cost them nothing
8 years ago at 4:44 pmI think Aggy fans/ Michigan fans would be the cult followers though
