Top college football revenue producers

As any season ticket-holding alum can tell you, college football is big business. Combine donations required for the right to purchase those seats and $75 a ticket to watch the likes of Louisiana Monroe, and it’s no surprise that the most powerful of the powerhouse schools are raking in the millions.
