Exactly! Maybe football isn't what Bama is (because no one is), but our overall our AD is doing great.

Well luckily for you the first part of your sentence disqualified you anyway. We don't want you.

SDV this is overall AD revenue, so shouldn't overall AD success matter?

Your answer of course is "I don't care because I am shithead who just wants to bash Aggie at every chance I get," but it's the truth.

eh. most of the oil industry purchased futures (short hedge) and they are still making $70-80/barrel. most companies have a few years for prices to recover before they are really in trouble.

Right, so it's a one-off. Much like Oregon last year, it was because of a major stadium upgrade and gifts from a fundraising drive.

Not actual normal revenue. A&M will go back to normal next year...regression to the mean.

~135M is still pretty damn good. 2nd to only Bama in the SEC if you look at 13-14 #s.

Nice article, but it would have been better if it was accurate.

The debt TAMU athletics owes the academic side wasn't $16.2 million. It was millions of dollars higher.

For five of the last 10 years (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012) TAMU athletics didn't genrate enough revenue to pay its bills. In the 2006-2009 period, the shortfall was $4 million per year each year. To cover this $16 million shortfall, the the academic side gave an interest free loan to TAMU athletics and then tried to hide that loan from the public and then lied about the matter when news of the loan started to leak to the public. Along with having to borrow millions from the academic side on a regular basis, in 2009 the athletic department was so broke it had to do large scale layoffs. Because TAMU athletics was basically bankrupt in 2009, when The UT Austin AD asked the TAMU AD to partner in what is now LHN, TAMU didn't have any money available to put into the project and therefore TAMU had to reject the invitation to monetize its Tier 3 rights in a manner UT Austin has.

In 2012, because the Big 12 distribution was withheld to pay the exit fee and they didn't receive the SEC distribution until later, TAMU athletics again got a 10 year interest from loan from the academic side, for $5.2 million (this time the loan was actually publicly disclosed). So the debt the athletic department owed wasn't $16.2 million, it was in excess of $21 million. You would think an athletic department that was so unbelievably wealthy would be able to pay back the academic side. Or pay its bills more than half the time during the last decade.
