That’s right, out of the Top 200 Colleges and Universities, The University of Texas at Austin tops them all in amount of merchandise sold. The Longhorns made over $10 million in the last fiscal year (July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010). That’s almost $1.5 million more than they made last year. This top 10 looks almost identical to a lot of the college sports top 10 teams. I think its interesting how those two go hand in hand. A lot of professors curse at collegiate sports like they serve no purpose in this educational system. I say they go side by side more than you could think. Colleges need to make money in order to update their facilities, pay their staff, and keep everything like business as usual. Sports bring in far more money(Football in particular) than the professors do. That’s impressive if you consider the amount of grants that professors can get from companies and individuals who support whatever research and development is going on in that field. The point is that I am tired of hearing about how UT puts too much emphasis on sports and not enough on the education. To me, The University of Texas at Austin is the best place in the world to go to school because not only is it one of the best public universities in the nation for education, but its also one of the best University systems for sports having teams ranked in the Top 25 in nearly all sports. The Collegiate system out there to me also falls under the “iron law of oligarchy” in the sense that eventually the best teams are just gonna get better making all the other schools out there suffer ever more than they already are.
