The school (UT) shouldn't be using the AD like a damn ATM. When the football team is struggling to fill the stadium, generate revenue, and sell merchandise, they shouldn't have the burden of giving money to academics. UT needs a lot of money just to recruit in the SEC since the state doesn't produce enough talent on its own. Sounds like y'all got some mismanagement going on up there.

Don't most of the bigger schools give money to the University from the Athletic side?
I thought this was common practice.

This is where many of UT's current problems originate. The university essentially had a goose that laid golden eggs into the mid 2000's. They kept pulling selling those eggs, thinking that they goose would just always lay more. However, they forgot to feed the goose in a manner of speaking. Not to mention how Mike Hamilton, may he rot in hell, leveraged the future income of a program that was not getting sufficient resources for continued success in the changing SEC landscape. Trying to find coaches "on the cheap" or that are "diamonds in the rough" is a recipe for disaster in the SEC.
