    The sponsorship average for 2022-23 was about $8.6 million. But sponsorships aren’t the top revenue drivers in the Power 5. 

    These conferences earn more than half their revenue from conference distributions that include media rights, NCAA, and postseason football revenue, according to Knight-Newhouse data.
