The SEC generated an NCAA record $1.4 billion in revenue in 2014, according to a study by Samford University’s Brock School of Business.

Alabama ($153 million) generated more money than any other program in the 14-member conference, which overall saw a revenue increase of 4.73 percent.

The SEC earned $38 million more in revenue than the Big Ten, the second-highest earning conference. The ACC ($1.2 billion) and Pac-12 ($1 billion) are growing almost twice as fast, and the former doesn’t even have its own conference TV network.

Overall, the power five conferences topped $5.8 billion in revenue, roughly the GDP of entire countries like Guinea, Monaco, Barbados and Bermuda.

The Brock School of Business reached an obvious conclusion that’s backed by the data: college football is a healthy business, especially for the power five conferences. Said the school in the report:

Within the overall sports industry, the Power Five Conferences have significantly outpaced the industry as a whole. According to the PwC Outlook for the Sports Market in North America, the North American sports market has grown at a rate of 5.1 percent during the same timeframe. The Power Five Conferences in college athletics have grown at a 45 percent faster pace than the sports industry as a whole.

In layman’s terms, the SEC generated enough revenue in 2014 to pay for 4,566 2015 Bentley Mulsanne vehicles at sticker price.
