Can anyone explain how we generate $10 million from our other mens sports? Is this just a general merchandise bucket?
Seems like we get a decent roi.

Great article, thanks for sharing! :)
I would guess the other revenue is mostly Blue & Gold donations.

The implication would be $8.3M and that revenue certainly isn't coming from tennis, golf, cross country, soccer and track. I have some thoughts but need to confirm a few things first.
It's interesting that the third most reliant school on basketball is Louisville, who has had a relatively good football program of recent years. Just goes to show that a football team here will always play second fiddle.

I suspect with the new Big East television contract in the works, that will change for Louisville.
