Oklahoma State Might Have the Most Efficient Athletic Department in the Country

I’m deep in my offseason #Process of crunching crootin and revenue numbers, and I came across something really interesting this week. I was looking at which teams get the most out of the least. Not on the field but off of it.

That is, which teams are operating with the smallest revenue streams but still win at the highest level. This data is easily accessible, of course, because we have recent win-loss totals as well as NCAA budgets for all public schools (sorry, TCU, SMU and Baylor).

So I ranked each team by total revenue and winning percentage over the last 10 years and took the difference.
