    I found a list with the 422 richest sports clubs in the world:

    StadiumZone - Home

    It is great to see the LSU Tigers football team in the list with a revenue of €48 million. Does anyone know how much that is in $? What are the revenues of the basketball and other sections?

    With the current euro exchange that's roughly $70M. Football pays the bills for just about every other athletic program, basketball included.

    It's interesting to note that most athletic departments actually lose money too. We come out very favorably in this.

    For the whole athletic department. The original article is talking about just LSU football.
