UM Athletic Department 2nd Most Profitable in US in '08

Not that this couldn't have been done by everyone else, but I figure this might be of some use to the board. I took that database mentioned in UV today as found here: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/01/19/subsidy And google doc'd it so I could give it out and do some easy sorting. If you want to check it out yourself, here's the link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AhBxILsMcvIMdGMyTUdKQlpOb0cxM3N… In case you were wondering, here's the top 25:

Should we maybe look skeptically on the idea of adding Rutgers to the Big 10? Maybe? And that was 6 of 11 programs in the big 10 in the top 25 (aka "profitable") in 2008, with 0 in the bottom 25.
