As mentioned, Maryland's admin had some pro BUG members there already. If their lawsuit goes to trial I would love to see Delaney and their President pretend not to remember their conversations.
Texas and Notre Dame are the #1 and 2 brands in the country in terms of dollar size so our examples may not be as relevant. But if any P5 school is losing money on football then they either have really bad or really good accountants.
Again, the donations are counted as revenue. In fact, read Hillis's replies. He said when the Longhorn Foundation donors were polled, half of them were unaware that they were donating to athletics solely and not the university at large. surely you're aware that schools without athletics have very large endowments. Athletics tends to draw big donations to athletics. There are certainly benefits to having sports, but the original claim was that the schools make money. It's the exact opposite of that. Schools subsidize sports through direct funding, student fees, stadiums and facilities, etc.
