That’s a lot of money in college basketball. I thought football was the main revenue sport. As for UNC, I think football will eventually catch and surpass basketball in value, but not fan following. Basketball has a 97 year headstart haha.

Men’s NCAA tournament is the NCAA’s biggest money maker but only because the BCS goes straight to the conferences.
