Interesting. Why did they spend $5,000 on rental cars in DC? Why spend $4,500 on individual flights when they spent $145k on a charter flight?
Quote:Toledo, meanwhile, sold about 300 tickets for last December’s Potato Bowl. It received $225,000 for the 2011 Military Bowl in Washington and $475,000 last year, but spent $518,000 and $699,000, respectively, according to school records.
The expenses did not reflect a binge, either. For the Military Bowl, they included $145,000 on the team’s charter flight, $4,500 on individual flights, $200,000 on hotels and catering, $16,000 on buses, $27,000 on player and staff per diems, $26,000 on equipment and supplies, $18,000 on player housing while the dorms were closed, $5,000 on rental cars, and $4,000 on entertainment in the hotel game room.
UT athletic director Mike O’Brien said his department has helped offset recent bowl losses with unexpected revenues — $130,000 from former Rockets coach Tim Beckman’s buyout in 2011 and more than $360,000 from Northern Illinois’ appearance in a BCS game last year. (Toledo went 7-5 this season but was not selected for a bowl.)
“We do what we can creatively,” O’Brien said.
