Compare Harbaugh’s salary to any academic. Compare athletic facilities to anything normal students have access to. |
Funny fact . UMD with 1.5 modern ncaa football championships has more than Michigan which only has .5 Michigan is definitely NOT run by football. |

The Big Ten Conference schools spend substantially more on research & development per year than each school receives from athletic revenue. Under the current media rights contract, Big Ten Conference member schools will receive from $65 million to $100 million per year. ( U Washington & U Oregon will receive half share payouts until the current TV media rights deal expires in 2030.)
Big Ten Conference Schools annual R&D expenditures (figures are for R&D expenditures in 2021): 1) U Michigan = $1,640,000,000 2) U Washington-Seattle = $1,500,000,000 3) UCLA = $1,450,000,000 4) Wisconsin-Madison = $1,380,000,000 5) Stanford = $1,275,000,000 6) Harvard = $1,254,000,000 7) Duke = $1,238,000,000 8) Ohio State = $1,236,000,000 9) UNC = $1,206,000,000 10) Cornell = $1,184,000,000 11) Yale = $1,165,000,000 12) Texas A&M = $1,148,000,000 13) U Maryland = $1,142,000,000 14) Georgia Tech = $1,114,000,000 15) Columbia = $1,100,000,000 16) U Minnesota = $1,073,000,000 17) Vanderbilt = $1,109,000,000 18) Penn State = $971,000,000 19) U Florida = $960,000,000 20) USC = $956,000,000 21) MIT = $949,000,000 22) Northwestern = $913,000,000 23) UCal-Berkeley = $847,000,000 24) U Texas at Austin = $779,000,000 25) Illinois (main campus) = $731,000,000 26) Michigan State = $710,000,000 27) Indiana = $695,000,000 28) Purdue = $680,000,000 29) ASU (Arizona State) = $677,000,000 30) Rutgers = $644,000,000 31) U Virgina = $611,000,000 32) U Iowa = $554,000,000 33) NC State = $547,000,000 34) Virginia Tech = $542,000,000 35) U Chicago = $498,000,000 36) U Georgia = $494,000,000 37) U Illinois-(Chicago campus only) = $430,000,000 38) U Kentucky = $429,000,000 39) Princeton = $405,000,000 40) Carnegie Mellon (CMU) = $402,000,000 41) Dartmouth College = $330,000,000 42) FSU (Fla. State) = $329,000,000 43) Nebraska = $307,000,000 44) Georgetown = $280,000,000 45) Brown = $276,000,000 46) Auburn = $266,000,000 47) GWU = $266,000,000 48) Wake Forest = $264,000,000 49) Notre Dame = $240,000,000 50) N'eastern = $211,000,000 51) Rice = $207,000,000 52) Nebraska Medical Center = $201,000,000 53) U Oregon = $139,000,000 54) U Alabama = $130,000,000 55) U Mississippi (Ole Miss) = $116,000,000 Non-Big Ten Conference schools were included as points of reference. Johns Hopkins University is the leader year-after-year in R&D expenditures. U Michigan is #3 among all universities; U Washington-Seattle is #5 among all universities. UCLA = #6. Wisconsin-Madison = #8. Stanford is #9 overall, while Harvard is #10 overall. |
Honest fact. Michigan is better at academics, football, and just about everything else in comparison to UMD. |
How many labs are returning money to the school or paying for new buildings? Research funding pays for salaries and labs, it does not flow to the school as a whole. |
Jobs & facilities--but will vary by institution. |
(OP here) I compiled the R&D Expenditures from National Science Foundation data contained in a very easy to read report. R&D Expenditures can be very lucrative to universities if the university owns a portion of the patent of any new device or medicine, etc. If given the choice between keeping football or research, only U Oregon & U Nebraska might opt to keep football over research assuming that each school was receiving $100 million or more each year from football & football related activities & products. Ownership or partial ownership of a patent can be rewarding for many years and even forever (in perpetuity) even beyond the life of the patent depending upon the particular arrangement such as a royalty in perpetuity. |
| For what it is worth, Johns Hopkins is a member of the B1G lacrosse league and is a member if the CIC. |
Private ownership of patents resulting from publicly funded research is on area of patent reform that most people agree on |
Johns Hopkins University is continually the leader in R&D expenditures while U Michigan seems to always be #3 behind UC-San Francisco medical research. JHU's 2021 R&D expenditures were an incredible $3,181,385,000--almost twice as much as third place research powerhouse University of Washington at Seattle. |
(OP again) You might find this document to be of interest: https://policies.northwestern.edu/docs/patent-and-invention-policy-FINAL.pdf |
Between JHU and UMD.. Maryland dominates the research money. Good job Senators !! |
Not sure that I understand this post. JHU's annual R&D expenditures are triple that of U Maryland. |
UMD is top 20 with 1.1+ billion (top 9 in public ) so the Md Senators are pulling in massive research numbers in a 30 mile radius for the state. |

Michigan had been #2 in R&D for many years behind Hopkins. This is the first time I’ve seen UCSF overtake it. |
