Is the University of Florida the richest college in the United States?

Question

I'm wondering if the University of Florida is the richest in the U.S. It did invent Gatorade. It's sold in more than 50 countries, and Gatorade brings in about $3,000,000 just in the United States alone. So is the University of Florida the riches in the U.S. and/or the world?

Answer 1

Harvard has the largest endowment in the US with over $25 Billion (not million). The University of Texas has the largest endowment of any state university.

Any money that comes in to the University of Florida from Gatorade just means that the state gives it that much less. Gatorade is saving taxes to all those retirees in Florida. Look at the link below. Florida does not even make the list. Florida is trying to increase their endowment. They are making a concerted effort to break into the top ten rankings of public universities (they are close to that now).

Answer 2

It is an attack on the Constitutional Freedoms of the US, and it is not Bush's fault. He may be a participant, but he is just a figurehead, doing what he is told by his advisors. These advisors, Rove, Cheney, Wolfowitz etc. have been put in place by the shadow government that is most visible within the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission. These Elites include at their head 13 families, including the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the British and Dutch royal families etc. They have a group of minions known as the "300 families" who carry out their plans. The ultimate goal is a world-wide socialist government under their control - sometimes referred to as the New World Order. So the first stage in their agenda is to remove any obstacles. The Constitutional rights and freedoms of the US are regarded as obstacles, so an event is engineered to create an emergency and to frighten Congress into passing the unconstitutional Patriot Act. Next will be confiscation of weapons, and destruction of the US dollar and the economy. Everyone that does not prepare for this will be totally dependent on the government for their necessities of life. Eventually they want to have everyone RFID chipped just like animals so that they can track them and monitor all of their transactions, who they talk to etc. It's not Bush - it's the larger organization - probably including Bush's family.

Answer 3

It should be clarified that researchers at UF created the beverage, but like most scientific discoveries the university gets the acclaim though the researchers get the patent. The product has since been developed into it's own corporate entity, the Gatorade Sports Science Institute. As popular as Gatorade is, it isn't the only or the most prestigious invention to come from university researchers. Most professors are strongly encouraged to get papers or books published and, in the case of some disciplines such as medicine, medical devices and technologies are licensed and/or patented.

The answer to your question isn't simple to say the least. Universities get state and federal funding, private contributions and grants, monies generated from athletic programs, etc. etc. It would be virtually impossible to get complete financial disclosure of every college and university, particularly from private institutions.
