Would be interesting to see where we would rate if we were getting our full share of BIG10 revenue. I believe that is supposed to happen pretty soon.
The most important 2 sentences in the article is as followed.
Schools sometimes count money differently so the EADA numbers aren't a precise comparison. Also, revenue can significantly vary for a school by year if it is engaged in a capital fundraising campaign.
So we aren't exactly comparing apples to apples here.

No big worry. Folks here aren't exactly worried about apples to apples in recruiting or other measurements either.
Our revenue is nothing to sniff at, and we're probably doing pretty good considering the size of the state and so forth. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan schools, Penn St, they all have huge pools of alumni money to draw upon and are no strangers to revenue raising for all manner of things. We're not exactly being left behind.
If Buffet changed his mind, we could easily be #1 by this afternoon, but we usually don't want for anything either. I think we could move up, but the next closest school in size to us on that list is probably Iowa, and their state is like 3x our size. We're probably not going to end up dominating the Michigan schools or Pennsylvania in fundraising.
Not to nitpick but Io-a is around 1 1/2 times our population, not 3. (And they still suck because they have a crappy state shape, lame uniforms they stole from the Steelers, and uh their biggest city is french soudning)

Thanks for the heads up. For some reason, the number 6 million stuck in my head. They are only a little above 3 million.
I could be wrong, but I believe Nebraska doesn't receive its full share of Big Ten revenue until 2018.
That Big Ten revenue thing was poorly negotiated. We should be receiving much more money by now.
Even as a Cyclone alum, I can fairly safely say that Iowa is a Hawkeye state when it comes to the money. ISU is an insurgency between Des Moines and Ames and little sprinkles all over, but as you can see in the rankings, it doesn't severly impact Iowa.
