How many Big Ten sponsored sports have a full compliment of members? Obviously football, and M/W basketball.

Women's sports are more likely than men's, due to Title IX

I'd guess they have more women's sports than most - but it is odd not to have softball

Hockey is the exception with way more men's teams across the board

or, which schools has the most

I think Stanford used to have the most

Ohio St. and Michigan used to lead the B1G

The only hockey program that runs in the black is Minnesota, even during bad times.

On the other hand, the closest any of the non-rev programs have ever come to turning a profit was women's basketball in 2003-04, the year they went to the Final Four. Most of that came from averaging 10K+ a game at home.

Revenue generating sports for Wisconsin include football, men's hoops, men's and women's hockey and volleyball.

The other 17 sports run in the red.

OSU, Michigan and Penn State are the only ones with all the Big Ten sponsored sports. The rest are missing either Ice Hockey or Lacrosse, at the very least.
