The number that popped up right away when I googled(college athletics accounting is basically made up though).
Football Revenue: about 42 Million. Expenses: 19.8 Million.
In 2011, Syracuse made about $10 million on men's basketball in the old Big East. I'd assume they are making at least that now or a lot more.

They are going to go with ETFE like U.S. Bank Stadium, which should be cool.
$105 million is just the roof. They are spending $250 million total for renovations. That's a lot to spend on that place.
The site below lists the Fargo-Valley City market at 115th with 240K TV homes. Add the 164K for western ND (139th largest) and you have a North Dakota market which is the 74th largest similar in size to Spokane, Omaha, and Rochester.

the % of people watching NDSU in this market kicks the crap out of a lot of FBS colleges.

or the $20 million city offices
