Not quite. Gotta click the links for the true story rather than the writers twist. The 20 million loss does NOT include the 10+ million in student fees nor the 9+ million in university provided funds. They spent 30+ million with 10 coming from tickets/donations and the remaining 20 from students and university funds.
I did read the link. That's where I got the figure. You're right, though. The whole thing is deceptive since if you do the math, there is no real deficit, just additional sources of income covering what the department didn't generate on its own. You could maybe argue a $9 million deficit if the university coughed up its part after the fact, but if that was planned for, then no.
That said, again, those income sources are not going to be sustainable. The day when folks stop and say, "We're not paying for this s*** anymore" is coming sooner rather than later.
Precisely ... and that's as it should be. Unfortunately, ESPN will continue to pay for the 65 +/- preferred schools until the 65 decide they want to be 48.
