Methodology

We have a good number of sports.

FWIW, we're advertising for a new Assoc. AD of External Affairs, Marketing and Communications.

Yes we have a lot of sports teams. And the Texas schools don't have that many more, so I have no idea why their budgets are so very much higher. Note that these are all public universities. I bet if Stanford and Nortre Dame were listed they might well be up there with the Texans.

I think some of the Texas schools get revenues from oil reserves. Football is also very popular in Texas.
