    Heck yeah that’s my go to when discussing Florida power Athletics Program! They back of quick . I also throw that Top 5 Academic thing at em
     
  5. In terms of revenue across sports programs (mostly funded by football), Florida is #13. The program has hovered around #9 since 2009. We were around #5 before 2009. At the same time, the overall athletics program usually ranks in the top 5 each year in terms of championships. I would say Florida is a top-15 program, but is in danger of slipping lower since there seems to be a correlation between championships and revenue.

    This being the case, it might be that Gator fans determine "all sports" by the one's they favor.
