All about the footnotes... just know part of their number is a loan that they took from the general school fund to athletics that they plan to pay back.  That should tell you everything about how meaningless the actual numbers are given there really aren't any standards to it.  A team with hundreds of millions of athletic "revenue" seems odd to need a loan from the school fund.

And yet they make cost cutting measures by eliminating staff of an athletic program without telling the head coach.

Don’t forget Jimbo either! I guarantee that wasn’t a portion or a deduction from the posted amount!

Jimbo’s buyout alone would fund most D-1 schools entire Spring sports budgets, both male and female.

Hook’em!!!

Hell, back when we actually published “Media Guides” for football each year, that spent amount was greater than a majority of FCS program’s entire annual athletic budget.

Hook’em!!!

And that's why the NCAA created a rule that specified a maximum number of pages in a media guide.

Somebody is using creative accounting for that list.

Just football revenue is very telling….

Aggy does their figurin' by determining what Texas' real numbers are and then reporting theirs as larger.   Take out a loan .... Revenue.   Get a donation.... revenue. ...

The "Go Cocks" girl is my favorite in perpetuity.

The best was during the 2002 CWS final when they interviewed the pitchers mom and during the interview she was on the "Cocks" side of the stadium as they broke out in the "Go!" "Cocks!" chant and she couldn't help herself but participate.
