Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3400942, member: 199"] All state schools receive operating money from the state. How much and how it is allocated changes year to year. And the accounting of every school is somewhat fluid. It is difficult to know how facilities costs are accounted for in any budgeting and especially how that applies to athletics. The athletic department also generates general and specific contributions that are probably not included in the above expenses and revenues so what the bottom line for the department is still a mystery. Bottom line - not being in one of the P5 is a disaster for the department but how much of a disaster is hard to tell. Even the P5 schools have historically run significant red ink for their athletic departments, though with the new TV contracts that may no longer be true in the short term. [/QUOTE]
