The vast majority of D1 schools that have a football team do not come near to what the gamecocks have. In fact the vast majority loose money.

HS wise I would like to see the same breakdown... I will be willing to bet that HS fotball programs do not make the money most people think they do. (no booster club money in the mix)

Coaches salaries, equipment, all those referees, Stadium maintenance and lights, Bus transportation for team, for band, etc...

I do not pretend to know what an AD does everyday. But 4 months of the school year is real work, then you get 2 months off in the summer and the other 6 ou sit in your office looking pretty for pay...???.
