Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4720404, member: 44"] $50m deficit Less $13M one time payment to KO, Less $6M in unfunded pension contributions, Less $7.5M in lost profits by playing in Hartford. So actual operating deficit is something like $23.5M. And the $23.5 million number includes paper tuition payments And the $23.5 million number includes paper tuition payments from the athletic department back to the academic side of the university at the full tuition cost, which is paid by virtually no one, from the athletic department back to the academic side of the University. If we join the Big 12, and eliminated all those extraordinary items, but included the paper tuition payments, [B]our university would be making a $26.5 million profit annually[/B]. Stop and think about that and how different it is from the narrative of "Connecticut is losing $50 million a year." [/QUOTE]
