If your athletic department has no debt, I suppose you’ve just given up on sports. Looking at the list at the bottom, that appears to be true.

Shocked unc isn’t on that list, after yesterday’s audit they claim they’re operating 20-40 mil in the red

Thought Aggie was so rich they stroked a check for everything then dropped $100 bills on their way back to the car.

Debt is a fact of life

Almost every business and even person is managing a debt in one form or another

Even your paisanos in South Korea have a high debt to GDP ratio, Yi

If you think debt is just a necessary thing, you’re doing it wrong

Just get Aggy to pony up. They have more money than everyone else on this graphic combined, right? At least that's what they all tell me.

Companies raise money through either debt or selling equity. It's pretty basic stuff. This isn't Joe and Jill having credit card debt.

If your company/athletic department is sitting on hundreds of millions in cash then I'd have serious questions about their fiduciary performance. People don't give money to see it hoarded. You don't build giant projects with one time cash payments, you do it by issuing debt and then making debt service payments with the money you raised for the project over time.

Now some of these have overextended themselves and struggle to make debt service payments (Cal is the most obvious example). That's a problem. Simply having debt is not.

FYI, Georgia State just announced a new baseball stadium yesterday. They will not be paying for it with a lump sum cash payment, so you can take them off the list.

Though I'm pretty sure their debt is held by the Ga Board of Regents, because they just built a basketball arena and it was 100% financed with bonds. They just aren't technically held on their books (nor is the asset).

Smart debt should be funding/feeding an appreciating asset, like your house or a business.

I'd guess all of those athletic programs are appreciating 'businesses', as they are in major conferences that will continue to get more TV revenue, save SDSU.

Dumb debt is when you feed something other than an appreciating asset, like a vacation, your honey's Mercedes G wagon, or Texas A&M.
