The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team has long been an important part of how the entire athletic department makes money, and that’s even more clear since the school arrived in the ACC.
Syracuse.com’s Chris Carlson shared data today around how much revenue was generated by college basketball programs in 2017-18, and to little surprise, the Orange were pretty high up on the list: third overall, taking home $31,772,639 on the back of a surprise Sweet 16 run and the extra credit from playing in the First Four too. That was a record amount for the school, surpassing the previous high form 2013-14.
