Teams are required to report their revenues and expenses to the NCAA once a year. The filings were due Jan. 15.

Vanderbilt was not counted among the SEC schools due to its status as a private institution and therefore not subject to open records requests. Texas and Oklahoma are listed, though they spent the entirety of FY 2023 in the Big 12.

Texas A&M reported the most revenue among the 15 counted teams, at $279.2 million. Its cross-state rival Texas was close behind in second-place, at $271.1 million.
