Oklahoma State Ranks No. 26 Nationally In Athletic Revenue at $96M
Oklahoma State ranks 26th in the country in athletic department revenue generated, according to USA Today. These numbers are for 2015 (you can read about how the data was compiled here).
OSU and UCLA were the first two outside of the $100M mark. Texas A&M somehow generated $192M which was $9M more than anybody else (Texas, Ohio State, Michigan and Alabama round out the top five). Here is the top 10.

Nebraska was No. 24, UCLA was No. 25, OSU was N0. 26, Maryland was No. 27 and Kansas was No. 28 to give you an idea of the schools around the Pokes.
And here is the Big 12 with each school’s national ranking.

TCU and Baylor do not have to report their revenue (this is among the many things Baylor apparently doesn’t have to report).
If you’re wondering, Oklahoma State ranked No. 31 in profit margin based on these numbers at $2.8M. Kansas State (in true Bill Snyder fashion ranked No. 13 at $8M. The only team in the top 13 that makes less than $100M a year). Texas A&M made $83M in profit. Second was Florida at $22M.
Sounds like some Aggie #math to me.
Either way, OSU fared well nationally and especially in the Big 12.
