Brown County's institution invested $235,114 on their football teams in 2023, a 10.1% increase in funding from the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

This represents 15.4% of all money invested on sport teams at Martin Luther College during 2023.

College football is one of the biggest sports in the U.S., with some college teams eclipsing NFL teams in terms of attendance and profit.

In 2022, after a decades-long fight, student athletes nationwide gained the right to profit from their names, likenesses, and images as a result of a flurry of new state laws and an NCAA policy change.
