If you were to actually to see what the NCAA was created for. You wouldn't believe what they are in charge of.  The NCAA was created to look over eligibility school violations. Now its not only in charge of that it also handles TV contracts.  It is in charge of promoting games and its also in charge of distributing  money towards schools. The NCAA what started as an small organization turned into an multi billion corporation. The NCAA annual revenue is 10.6 billion dollars. The NCAA makes more revenue than The NFL(9 billion) MLB (7 billion) NBA (3.8 billion) and NHL (2.9 billion). This shows how the NCAA is a juggernaut in American sports. Financially it can go toe to toe with any pro league. The NCAA spends 707.2 million.10.5 billion is spent by college athletics  programs. Even though the NCAA makes a lot of money it does not distribute it equally. The biggest benefactor of the wealth is Division 1 schools. Which makes sense because its best division they have. It also receives the biggest media attention. Which attracts the best players in the country. The other divisions don't receive half of that. Division 2 receives 4% and division 3 only receive 3%. The other two high benefactors  are Championships (13%) and programs and national services (19%). The sports that bring the biggest revenue is Football (15.8 million/ school) and Basketball (10.1 million/ school).  For the football the 5 most profitable schools are Texas ($68,830,484) , Georgia ($52,529,885) Penn state ( $ 50,427,645) , Michigan ($44,861,184) , Florida ($44,258,193).
