A few things to note — Northwestern’s numbers are not included. Ohio State had the highest total number of expenses in the country, coming in at $220,572,956. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the Buckeyes lost over $10 million last year, as noted by Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, who talked about fundraising.

From Smith:

“There’s no way I would be sitting here with 36 sports if we had a $10 million deficit,” Smith said back in February. “It just wouldn’t happen. I’d be dropping sports, and ticket prices would go up.”

According to the numbers from usatoday.com’s database, all B1G schools (again, excluding Northwestern) turned a profit except for Ohio State and Illinois.
