In 2022, Auburn football solidified its position as one of the most profitable athletic departments in college athletics, ranking fourth overall. The program amassed an impressive $22.98 million in revenue, showcasing their strong financial standing within the collegiate sports landscape. While falling just short of the top three teams, Auburn demonstrated its ability to generate substantial income and maintain financial stability.
Leading the pack were Ohio State, Georgia, and Indiana, whose revenues of $25.88 million, $34.02 million, and $34.37 million respectively placed them ahead of Auburn.
