Marquette Top Revenue Producer in Big East

4. Syracuse, $26.9 million
The Carrier Dome hosts the biggest crowds in college basketball annually and has set the single-game record repeatedly with 35,446 people. Other than Kentucky, the Orange are the only team that has won an attendance championship since 1976. The Orange have a recognizable head coach in Hall of Famer Jim Boeheim and benefit from the lack of a strong public school presence, which allows the Orange to claim the title of New York's College Team.

Really?
 
Congratulations to Marquette University for not only being the top revenue producer for men's basketball in the Big East Conference but also being the top dollar producer for D1 men's basketball among all non FBS colleges.

Below is a link that lists the top 20 revenue producers. Marquette is #11 among all D1 men's basketball programs.

They are pretty much topping this list and in that overall position every year

Top notch program
 
Are any of the programs on this list playing in a major city market?

Cuse has the built in advantage of being the only game in town.
 
Would be nice if the writer had gotten their name right: "The Musketeers are the top money-maker from outside the football leagues ..."
