Auburn’s magical turnaround season in Gus Malzahn’s first year came with a hefty price tag.

Auburn’s athletic department recorded a $13.6 million deficit during the 2014 fiscal year, which included the football team’s SEC Championship run and BCS runner-up finish in 2013, according to the program’s most recent NCAA financial report provided to the Opelika-Auburn News last week through a records request.

And spending millions on a gaudy video board and tree transplants. It's this kind of mindset that caused the worst financial crisis since the depression

I don't see the big deal.

This is why there is no such thing as a big 3 or big 2 in the SEC.

Football makes 35 million in profits, but the AD losses 13 million.

Hopefully this is a temporary issue and not a trend. Looking at broader time periods the AD seems healthy.

I'm interested in seeing how Missouri has done their first two years in the league. AU had a high amount for travel expenses, but it can not be anything near what Missouri has to pay.
