Focus on Auburn, our big board,expenses, etc... LINK-November 2015 overall an interesting take.
In a region devastated financially by the Civil War, a small, underfunded agricultural college started a football team in 1892. In the 123 years since that first game, Auburn football has won five national championships and evolved into an economic engine that generates millions of dollars every year for the university and merchants.

Why are the New York Times and Washington Post always so unusually obsessed with Auburn?

It really is weird. At least this wasn't an absolute hit piece and we make sense as someone to put in the spotlight.
Annoying but not as infuriating as before

I really like how they omitted the surplus in many of the years not named 2004 and 2014.

It was completely irrelevant to the point of the article.
The article was pointing out that collegiate athletics is a business model with no financial stakeholders and as a result they frivolously spend money and have incentives designed to not report significant profits yearly.
ETA**: They weren't trying to slam Auburn.
