ESPN: Big East hoops money outstrips football

[UnderToad]

"The league received more money in 2011 in NCAA tournament revenue ($24.9 million) than it did in BCS football revenue ($21.2 million)."

Problem is that the moron forgets to put that there were 11 teams in the NCAA tourney and only 8 football teams. On a per team basis, Football made more money.
And when we get a new TV contract, it will be higher because we have great basketball but the per team money will be heavily weighted toward football.
I get tired of the media taking every angle possible to make BE football look bad...we do it well enough on our own, we dont need them sandbaggin on top!
