The Big Ten Conference once again led the way among conferences with a home

College Park, topped the nation with an increase of 5,169 more fans per game

肯塔基大學繼2013-14 2014-15球季進場人數輸給雪城大學後，今年奪回進場觀眾的寶座。

肯塔基大學 場均人數 23,361
雪城大學 場均人數 21,592
路易維爾大學 場均人數 20,859
北卡羅來納大學 場均人數 18,326

最佳進步獎 馬里蘭大學 場均人數增加 5,169 (好多!)

報告裡面還有很多好玩的統計!

感想: NCAA 賺這麼多錢，學生運動員可以拿到的報酬有限，還不能販賣個人商品、
也沒有工會和經紀人。各學校還受限Title IX和 NCAA的禁藥、學業、招生方式的罰則。

這還只是Men's Basketball而已，加上football...

難怪有人說 NCAA才是美國的教育部，和最賺錢的"非營利"組織。
