You have to spend money to make money. Big 6 schools have the most debt. Moo State, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Vandy have the least debt.



Sure I know that, we just signed a half-billion dollar note for our stadium upgrade. But Aggies aren't expecting a competitive BBall program or staff until that new stadium revenue starts rolling in.



I guess the real question is why do Tenn fans feel they deserve to drive a BMW on a Honda Civic budget? To be a "bball school" don't you have to spend money like a bball school?

Because Tennessee Men's basketball attendance was top 5 in the nation year in year out since 2006 and it'll bring in revenue and then some. That kind of attendance/support is something no one else has in the SEC has except Kentucky. Plus women's basketball program at UT is pretty good as well.
