The economy may rattle season ticket sales a bit this time around, but Auburn generated the 6th-highest revenue in college football during the last reporting session. (according to Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal)according to the Birmingham Business Journal on Monday.
Auburn generated $59.67 million in football for 2007-08, the highest in the state. Overall, Auburn was ranked 7th Nationally in overall sports revenue with $89.31 million. The 2008-09 athletic year has not been tabulated, a period in which Auburn had only 7 home games as opposed to 8 in 2007 with 8 this coming season. Still, there is a lot of TV money to go around.
(Texas led the nation in football and overall sports revenue.)
