Not sure the 990 actually presents the same data as this USA Today report does. The USA Today report is 2017-2018. The lowest revenue of all the 230 schools in the list is Coppin State at $3.652 million. But what really makes me think that different data sets are being compared is that schools like Winthrop and USC Upstate and UNCA and SC State show much higher figures ($8.8 million and $9 million and $13.5 million and $5 million) for example) than you mention for Wofford and Furman. Even if the numbers you cite are 2016-17, these numbers from USA Today are 2017-18, and that 1 year difference should not be much for any of these schools.
(Where can you go to find the 990s, by the way?)

I just googled “Furman form 990”

The 990 #s are probably apples to apples but don’t know where USA Today gets their data

USAToday methodology supposedly is at bottom, but I’ve not yet looked at that methodology.
