We have the 3rd largest nonBCS revenue!? How can this possibly be true?

Ten of the top 25 non-BCS schools are in CUSA. Those bowl games must be paying off.

I don't know if this is a misprint on thier part, but thats 'expenses,' not revenue. According to this article, we have the third most expensive athletic department in the Non-BCS world. This would help to explain how we lost, what, $50M in football over the last decade. Problem is, we really have had nothing to show for it. Houston, however, is running a department for 1/6 less than what we pay for ours and has regularly gone to bowls, beaten BCS teams, and just had a conference championship in BB, even if they fired the coach.

I'd love to hear where that 35 mil revenue figure is coming from. Even including the facilities and coaches salaries donations made in recent years, that figure strikes me as high.
