BusinessofCollegeSports.com listed in order the athletic departments earning the highest net income (profit) in 2010-11. It didn't surprise me that Alabama was No. 1, but I was very surprised that no other SEC schools was in the top 10.

Very surprised Texas is so far behind us.
Lebron James is easily the best basketball player in the league currently...

Can you remember the idiot national reporters criticizing bama paying Saban $4 mil a year when he was hired. Pretty good investment I would say!

I would love to compare the numbers before Saban.

its time for baseball to get a new facility. on the field football is on top, basketball is headin in the right direction and now its time for baseball to join. we need the facilities to put the best product on the field. the joe has sentimental value, but its time for an upgrade.

This. They would see 400 percent growth in net profits when they get a few coaches off the payroll.

This makes me shake my head when I see posts on here saying other universities could pay more to have our basketball coach. Bama can match anyone.

You mean the dumb lecture that Illinois is a way better job than Alabama? (G)

Can you or anyone with the inside knowledge explain specifically what could be "gold-plate" improved with the "Joe"? I'm not a baseball afficianado, but the few times I've been, I've felt the stadium to be comfortable, clean, and relatively nice....

Maybe we can invest some of that in some much needed baseball facilities. I wouldn't mind seeing that eyesore natatorium razed and a new one build somewhere else.

Not bad in endowment either
New Endowment #'s (SEC Rank)
Numbers as reported on March 19, 2012 by:
National Association of College and University Business Officers and Commonfund Institute
http://www.nacubo.org/Document...etValues319.pdf
Notes:
-The University of Alabama is nearly back up to the $1 billion mark after dipping in 2008 (like all universities' endowments did) during the recession.
-Most of these schools' numbers are system-wide numbers.

Agreed. It's funny how silent (or even positive) those critics are now. There is only the occasional pot shot about oversigning or being short.

That's because Miss State chose not to pay Cam and the Barn is still paying.

...and,please note, all detractors, that the profit number is AFTER Saban's salary.
