2010 Big East tax returns
I was just looking at my 2009 copy of the BE's form 990, and decided to check GuideStar to see if they had the 2010 form yet (as they hadn't as of a few months ago.) Lo and behold, it's there now.
Want to know why the Big East is about to die? Let's use UConn as an example, as there are few athletic departments more skewed towards basketball over football than UConn. However, UConn barely made less than 100k more for basketball than it did for football. Football, now and forever, is the television revenue king - even in a conference like the Big East that tried to marginalize football at every opportunity.
Digging around GuideStar for info on non-profits can be hit or miss, but occasionally there is informative stuff; like the BE return, Big Ten, ACC, or page 52 of Syracuse's.

good stuff
question though, where did you get the exact numbers for UConn’s revenue, broken down by sport? All I could find was how much the BE paid out to each school and the total BE revenue broken down by a few categories. by my figures the football schools took in over 70% of the BE pay outs, averaging over $9m/year vs $3.5m.year for the basketball schools.
the ACC and Big 10 returns were also very illuminating. several ACC schools (like NC State) received less than WVU, the BE’s highest earner at $10.4m in 2010. Syracuse made the least of the football schools at $7.5, by the way. Big 10 schools all took an equal share at just over $20m/year.
what was nice about the ACC return is they broke their revenue down by sport, for tv and post season income. football made about $73m for the conference while basketball only about $55.
all good stuff tho, thanks for posting.
