Agreed, their deal is worth 250 mil per year? Where is this extra 100 mil

Pretty horrible management to run a massive deficit even in your best case

I'd actually be surprised if it's that many

It's a linked in article, but looks like 18. I'm surprised Purdue makes money,

Choices. Spend less than you make.

Then you lose games. Most money goes toward facilities and coaching. Cut back

So spend and expect someone else to bail you out?

It’s a horrible cycle but that’s why they go into the red

Obviously, that's only public schools. I'm guessing there's only a couple of

Wow WA went from making a $4M profit to losing $6M. Big turn there. Somebody

How much tax revenue do athletics generate for the state?

Running a church with fluid tithing income is imo much less complex. Church

Flyoverstate

Ok this changes in the 12 team playoff I posted the methodology
