It’s good to be king.
As one of the nation’s top football programs for a decade now, Alabama continues to reap the benefits when it comes to profit.
According to AL.com, the football team alone brought in $103.9 million, $47.7 million of which was profit. The school as a whole raked in $18.7 million in profit on $164 million in total athletics revenue.
Nick Saban’s football program increased its revenue from $95.1 million in 2015 to the $103.9 million total in 2016.
With another top recruiting class and several star players returning in 2017, it’s unlikely that the Crimson Tide profit machine will slow down this year.
