Where each SEC athletics program ranked nationally in terms of total revenue

In the SEC, it’s all about sports, so it’s no surprise that the conference’s athletic programs rake in the cash.

On Thursday, USA TODAY updated its database of total revenue for athletic departments across the country, and the SEC has six of the top 10 revenue leaders.

Texas, out of the Big 12, was No. 1, followed by Texas A&M. Below, you can see the total revenue brought in by 13 of the 14 SEC teams (Vanderbilt is a private institution):

• No. 2 — Texas A&M — $211,960,034
• No. 5 — Alabama — $174,307,419
• No. 6 — Georgia — $157,852,479
• No. 8 — Florida — $149,165,475
• No. 9 — LSU — $147,744,233
• No. 10 — Auburn — $147,511,034
• No. 11 — Tennessee — $145,653,191
• No. 16 — South Carolina — $136,032,845
• No. 17 — Kentucky — $130,706,744
• No. 19 — Arkansas — $129,680,808
• No. 24 — Ole Miss — $117,834,511
• No. 31 — Mississippi State — $100,062,237
• No. 32 — Missouri — $97,848,195
• Vanderbilt does not disclose financial information

When the list is updated again next year, it won’t be a surprise to see the SEC bringing in even more money, as the conference seemingly gains popularity every year.
