Big 12 Coaching Salaries Compared to FB Revenue

I found this over on Tim Griffin's ESPN blog for the Big 12 and thought it was pretty interesting. Basically, according to coacheshotseat.com, a college football coach should make 7.5% of the football budget. Based on that number, it shows Dan Hawkins is underpaid by $775K (on Griffin's original it shows $939K but Hawkins received a raise last year). The point of his article was that Mack Brown is severely underpaid compared to the revenue the football program brings in. Griffin's chart wasn't updated for new contracts (assumed Leach would sign the 5 year, $12.1 million contract) or coaching moves so I changed because it shows even more that technically Hawkins is underpaid compared to 2/3 of the Big 12 coaches when you look comparatively at football generated revenue:

The most surprising thing on the chart was the fact that the Buffs are only behind Nebraska, A&M, Texas and OU for generated football revenue. I realize that all football revenue doesn't come from game attendance but a pretty large chunk does. Folsom Field is 8th in the conference when comparing seating capacity, some 12,000 seats below the average of 65,222:
| School | Field Name | Rank | Capacity |
| North Division | |||
| Nebraska | Memorial Stadium | 4 | 81,067 |
| Missouri | Faurot Field | 5 | 68,349 |
| Iowa State | Jack Trice Stadium | 7 | 55,000 |
| Colorado | Folsom Field | 8 | 53,750 |
| Kansas State | Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium | 10 | 52,200 |
| Kansas | Memorial Stadium | 11 | 50,071 |
| South Division | |||
| Texas | Darrell Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium | 1 | 94,113 |
| Texas A&M | Kyle Field | 2 | 83,002 |
| Oklahoma | GaylordOklahoma Memorial Stadium | 3 | 82,112 |
| Oklahoma State | Boone Pickens Stadium | 6 | 60,000 |
| Texas Tech | Jones AT&T Stadium | 9 | 53,000 |
| Baylor | Floyd Casey Stadium | 12 | 50,000 |

that revenue stuff is interesting
gotta figure that we are so close to nebraska even though they sell out a much larger stadium every game because of all the national TV games we get (and their lack of). I don’t really understand why A&M would make more than OU (same size stadium but OU is on national TV way more and you would figure they would also make more off mechandising). Texas makes $30 mil more than OU? How is that? I would love to see a break down on where each school’s revenue comes from.

I am going to dig into that more as well. I can see Texas and A&M being high because of donors and stuff
but that still begs the question as to why Boone Pickens University wouldn’t be higher

Definition of revenues according to the US Dept of Education:
Definition:
All revenues attributable to intercollegiate athletic activities. This includes revenues from appearance guarantees and options, contributions from alumni and others, institutional royalties, signage and other sponsorships, sport camps, state or other government support, student activity fees, ticket and luxury box sales, and any other revenues attributable to intercollegiate athletic activities.
