1997 NCAA Division I revenue distribution

The 11 institutions of the Big Ten Conference received $13,230,010 from the NCAA Division I revenue-distribution plan in 1997, the most of any conference.

The figure represents money sent to Division I conferences through the basketball, academic-enhancement, special assistance, sports-sponsorship and grants-in-aid funds; a supplemental distribution; and the conference grant program.

The Atlantic Coast, Big Twelve and Pacific-10 Conferences were next, followed by the Big East Conference.
