That was due to a one time donation. Texas A&M and Oregon recently led too.
UofL had a onetime donation and now they are barely ahead of Maryland in revenue. AND THAT IS BEFORE THE B1G's RECENT ASTRONOMICAL TV DEAL and MARYLAND's GETTING A FULL SHARE IN IT.
I'll say this once again, Maryland's money problems while in the ACC in no way, shape, or form reflects well on the ACC.
Notice how Maryland is already in the black after only a couple of years in the B1G. And again, their revenue is about to grow tremendously.

Papa Johns did make them a top 2 revenue program one year. Nike did the same for Oregon once too. Texas A&M just did a MAJOR fundraiser for stadium upgrades. Those are one time deals.
Every indication in the world suggests Maryland will be bringing in a bunch more money from athletics the next 5, 10, and 15 years than UofL.
