That left Villanova with only a 38 percent profit margin, a bit below the combined 45 percent profit margin for the 64 tournament teams that report results (Air Force is exempt from reporting).
Together those schools had a combined $330.8 million in revenue during the 2004-05 school year, and $148.3 million in profits, even when including results from the 14 money-losing basketball programs involved in March Madness.
Based on those numbers, basketball is more of a sure money maker for schools than college football -- at least for the schools in the so-called six major conferences.

This data is 5 years old. It is so out of date the program in this article that makes the most $ is U of A basketball which is now making about nothing if not losing $.
Let's see the current revenue$ numbers of football and basketball side by side, conference by conference.
If data age makes no difference I can prove to you why the Model T is the most profitable car to produce.
