The NCAA does facilitate the sale of institutional merchandise on NCAA.com, and Auburn’s merchandise (and the banner on the site) highlights the Tigers’ football national championship. I don’t know if that exactly equals the NCAA making money off of Division I postseason bowl games, but I suppose you can make the argument. However, this revenue would be negligible in the context of the all the money surrounding Division I FBS bowls. It certainly would not be a motivation for the NCAA to maintain the status quo, as the author of the original article claimed.

I can surf over to NCAA.com and buy “Auburn National Champions” items:
