The top 25 teams averaged between 31million (#25) and 107 milllion (#1) per year in profits... 

Fortunately money doesn't buy wins but it sure helps getting coaches, facilities, marketing, and recruits.

And indeed, from 2014 through the 2016-17 season, the Texas A&M athletic department earned $260 million in contributions, nearly double what any other school made in that time. For reference, in those years, Texas had total athletic contributions of $123 million; Florida, which ranks second in the category, totaled contributions of $138 million. Texas A&M, meanwhile, allocated $119 million of its total contributions just to the football team.

And the 2012 move to the SEC certainly hasn’t hurt – the conference’s most recent revenue distribution was $41 million per member school while Big 12 programs each received just $34 million from their conference.

Texas Tech surprisingly is on the list at No 25, Texas was No. 1 for a long time. It's oil money for the Texas schools. But football is a religion in college station, that is for sure.

Was a little surprised at Penn State being down as far as they are but I guess the scandal from years back may have slowed donations.
