Baskeball money is secondary
Football is clearly where the money is at, which is why Maryland was willing to drop its traditional basketball rivalries to jump to the Big Ten.
The best example of this is actually the University of Kentucky, clearly a basketball school in the big football-money driven Southeastern Conference.
Yet, in 2013-14, Kentucky actually made more than double the amount on its football program than its basketball program. Kentucky made $16.9 million on football and $7.5 million on men's basketball.
That being said, the Big Ten remains a powerhouse basketball league and several teams made more than Kentucky."
