Alabamas basketball revenue for, I'm assuming 09-10, was 8.7 million.
In comparison, alabamas football revenue for 09-10 was over 129 million.
Argument over.
The only loss in revenue for football if we did anything short of winning the NC would be lack of NC memorabilia.
It would be recouped in sales of Final Four memorabilia, because you know the bandwagon would swell to the breaking point if it actually happened. Plus, the elevated profile of the basketball program would pay off down the road both financially and in terms of national perception. The football program is always going to consistently make a pile of money.

There was a 4.17% decrease in alabamas total revenue from our national championship team to our 10-3 team.
It dropped from 129 mil to just under 123.9.
That tells me that the difference in a championship and a 10 win season nearly equals the revenue taken in from basketball.
I know its taking a large gamble that Alabama would come close to winning another championship next year but Id argue the potential profit outweighs any gains made by basketball.
Also, I messed up in saying 129 mil was football revenue in the other post. It's total athletic revenue. I think football was only 80 mil in 09-10 so an 80 mil 7 mil difference would change the numbers some.
