Although the schools generate huge revenue, I'm thinking that most schools aren't making a profit. If you look at the 36 teams receiving votes in the
this week's AP voting this week, you see five private schools (if I'm counting right): Notre Dame, USC, Miami, TCU, and Boston College. The preponderance of public school suggests to me that football programs are subsidized by state governments -- otherwise, wouldn't you expect to see more private schools up there?
Which is not to say that there isn't a lot of money rolling around in the sport.
