X Checks in at #17. And unless I missed something, the highest of any of the Big East School. Also X has been ranked every year they have does this, starting in 2008.

I don't see any other BE teams on that list.

I didn't think I did either, just skimmed it quick.

How did X drop -2% in revenue? Didn't they make more with the TV contract? I guess I don't understand how these rankings are calculated. How is Kentucky not #1?

Timing of revenue recognition.

Because Rupp doesn't have luxury suites, etc.

It's based off the previous year not this current one. So I expect us to see a decent increase next year based off more money from increased attendance, new tv deal and NCAA credits.

Louisville has the sweetest arena deal in the country, so they get the #1 spot.

NC State is 5 spots ahead of us at #12.

I'm actually hoping we drop a bit on this list next year.

Those numbers are inflated by the fact our coach is woefully underpaid. I am hoping that changes very soon.

That is changing soon, though. Have you seen the video for the new Rupp? Fairly impressive.
