Actually, they gain a hell of a lot more money as an independant. They get millions upon millions from NBC. Having the football team just join a conference will automatically cause the team to lose money because of the TV contracts. The only way they don't lose money, is if the conference basically screws itself over with the hope that in the future they can make up the loss.
Besides, the amount of money their football team makes absolutely dwarfs that of all their other sports.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
