The Louisville Cardinals men's basketball team has been wrecked with scandal recently, and even had to vacate its most recent title.
The good news for the Cardinals, however, is they are still the richest men's college basketball program in the country. Based on the most recent data, the Cardinals have the highest revenue of any program in the country, and it is not even that close.
But Louisville isn't the only scandal-ridden program raking in the money.
The Arizona Wildcats are also near the top. Their head coach, Sean Miller, was reportedly caught on an FBI wire tap discussing the $100,000 payment to secure the commitment from a top recruit.
