Isn't our stadium bigger than FSU's? I'm sure other things other than ticket sales are factored into these numbers, but I'm just saying, that big a difference?

My thoughts exactly. Must have something to do with Lacrosse being big. They sure don't fill up for football and basketball.

Virginia offers more sports then Clemson. Check out thier athletic website: http://www.virginiasports.com/
ALSO, Lacrosse is HUGE with the Youth. EVEN IN SOUTH CAROLINA. "Old School" guys don't get it. Baseball is not as popular as it used to be .... I wonder why... "here's the pitch........ ball one" 5 minutes go by .... "here's the pitch..... ball two"

I noticed this paragraph from the article:
The conference with the highest percentage of members having a positive net income was the SEC. All but one SEC member (Ole Miss) generated a positive net income in 2010-11. The SEC was also home to the athletics department with the highest net income of any BCS AQ school, Alabama. However, the ten schools generating the greatest net income in 2010-11 are from a mix of conferences. The only conference not represented in the top-10 is the ACC.
I also noticed that another article linked on the site shows SC football revenue to be $58 million compared to Clemson's $30 million - that is almost double for you non-math folks. These kinds of numbers are the reason so many are upset with Swofford.

These comparisions are a joke

no two schools count revenue the same. Some add in student fees, some don't. Some add in major gifts, some don't. Some add in booster money, some don't. etc etc etc
One of the comments in the orginal blog, pretty much destroy the entire premise of the comparison. http://businessofcollegesports.com/2012/03/21/highest-net-income-amongst-athletics-departments/
" Revenue data used for this analysis is not reliable.
The government collects expense data for measuring Title IX compliance. The forms the schools file have a space for revenue, but it’s the expense data that has to be accurate for compliance, not the revenue data.
Some schools take providing revenue data more seriously than others. For example, DePaul reported men’s basketball revenue in the amount of $6,467,709 compared to Notre Dame’s $3,977,728. Same conference. Same proportional share of Big East NCAA Tournament money. Same share of Big East TV money. Average home game attendance within 100 of each other… Do you think DePaul’s program had $1.5 million more in product licensing than Notre Dame had?
Louisville reported basketball revenue as $40,887,938. Do you really believe UL made more than 10 times what ND made from basketball when the lion’s share of revenue comes from a TV contract they have in common?
Then there’s Seton Hall’s report. SHU reported men’s basketball expenses of $6,812,231 and men’s basketball revenue of $6,812,231. Really? It just worked out as a breakeven year right down to the last dollar? I don’t think so. Syracuse also broke even to the dollar. What are the odds that two programs in the same conference would do that?
The expense numbers in the EIA data should be pretty accurate. The revenue numbers are fairly worthless."

exactly..I've been hammering the same point

When I see someone post these ridiculous articles. You can't rely on the expense data either because some schools athletic departments pay excess back to school as expense either directly or via marked up schollies Ohers may expense excess or certain % or amt to reserve fund each year.
