Same author that I mentioned from the Junior Bridgeman article put this one together.

Loads of data to parse through if you want to deep dive on the financials of the NCAA machine. Here are the dollars earned and spent for Alabama's athletic programs.
I had to chuckle at this when I thought back to the demands made by the PAC 12 players. 17 sports, 2 show a profit. So when they demand that the total revenue for each sport be totaled and 50% of it go to the players, uh, you wonder if they had any Accounting or Finance majors on the council of players that requested that.
If profitability is the aim, cut everything but football and mens basketball, right?

...is included in the article and talks through why the numbers reported about profit / loss sometimes paint a very different picture than the reality of the financial position.
Good stuff, worth a read if you like digging through the numbers.
