Temple football revenue tops in MAC

Our friends at Over The Pylon, a blog that covers Ball State, came with with some impressive research the other day.
It caused me to raise an eyebrow.
According to their figures, citing a U.S. Department of Education website, Temple is No. 1 in the Mid-American Conference in revenues.
Temple is $3 million ahead of second-place Kent State.
Now that'll make your head spin.
Not that Temple is No. 1 in revenues _ the Owls, after all, drew 70,000 for a home game two years ago _ but that Kent State is No. 2.
Those Temple fans who made the trip to Kent State last year will swear to you that there were no more than 400 Kent State fans in attendance.
Seriously, though, it's got to make you wonder what'll happen once Al Golden is able to put a winning product on the field and that should be soon.
Very soon.
