Hey did ya'll see the revenue figures for TCU as it pertains to the rest of country. In the 2007-2008 season we were 57th, imagine what we could do with Big 12 teams coming in every week.(Do you remember the Tech game?) We would sell out every week and season tickets sales would jump 30-40%. Football and Basketball alone would generate 10-15 mil easy. We are already ahead of schools like Texas Tech and Pitt and the are the supposed big boys. Look what we are doing with no local conference rivals. If the Conferences expand I think TCU will be along for the ride.

I'm sorry, there is no way in hell Stanford made $77M in football alone. I was at those games - there was only one sellout. The rest were less than 20,000. Unless they are making a killing on advertising...I'm not buying this report.

Those numbers are for total athletic revenue. Football, basketball, baseball, alumni donations, everything. I don't have the figures for 07-08, but in 06-07 Stanford pulled in almost $13 million for football. That's slightly less than what TCU pulled in for the same year.

does that include TV contracts, bowl / BCS payouts, etc?

Doubt basketball would jump that much. I agree conference would be good selling, but we would be forced to schedule all NAIA teams just so we would be able to win games. Which means no attendance for OOC games.

I personally think our figures are weak. Think they should be higher, which they likely will be when the figures come out for this past year.

Actually, football already pulls in $10-15 million a year for TCU. $40+ million a year total isn't bad - we're number 1 among the non-BCS crowd every year, and we top quite a few of the "big boys." And that's without a guaranteed BCS payout and with a TV contract that amounts to a rounding error for conferences like the Big Ten. We do okay, but if we were in the Big 12 right now, we could probably pull in another $8 million per year. At least 5 mil more for the TV contract, another 1-2 million in bowl money each year, and then about $1 million from increased ticket sales (and increased ticket prices). That's a conservative estimate, I think.

Okay, that makes more sense. The title of the article is misleading. It makes it sound like those are football numbers.
