Why Publish the data?
The data about college sports results and university financials has always been fascinating to me. Endowments aren't a 1 to 1 correlation of how much money actually flows into a university's athletic department, but it is a bellwether of how money could flow into the athletic department. I've also included the money spent on the football program where available.
