Observations:
-Oregon and OkSt stand out and are clearly so high because of their mega-whale donors Phil Knight and T. Boone Pickens
-All SEC schools are within the top 40 (which actually represts a "top 50-ish" ranking when factoring in Private schools which would be in the top 45, like Notre Dame, USC, Stanford, Duke, Miami, Northwestern, TCU... and prossibly even Baylor, Vandy and BYU)
-Current Big Ten doesn't have a single school in the top 10 despite having blue bloods OSU/Mich
-All basketball blue bloods are within the top 40, led by Kansas at 19th
