According to this data, of the 11 teams currently remaining in CUSA, Marshall‘s revenue was less than every program except UTSA, UTEP, WKU and La Tech.
Five MAC programs, Miami, CMU, WMU, Toledo and Akron, made more revenue than Marshall in that year.
Eleven of 12 MWC programs and 10 of 11 AAC programs made more in revenue than Marshall that year. The only reason it wasn’t every program in both conferences is because Air Force and Navy don’t have to report their numbers to this report.
