It shouldn't come as a surprise either that recent national champions are among the highest earning teams. Florida came in sixth overall, and teams such as Alabama, Auburn, and LSU also fill out the top ten. University of Texas is the top earner, with almost $94 million in football revenues in 2009. All of that money hasn't bought them a recent national championship, though.
