Are state or student funds used to support athletics?

No funds from the State of Arkansas go toward the University Athletic programs. Likewise, Athletics receives no student tuition or fees from the campus, with the exception of waiving non-resident tuition. The University Athletics programs are self-sufficient. They pay for all costs unique to their activities, including tuition and fees of scholarship student athletes.


This is from the Arkansas chancellor's FAQ on finances for the university. I wonder where these data come from?

It's accounting related. Where the AD may be entirely self sufficient in reality, however on their accounting it may say they receive money from the school. What that doesnt say it what the money is for. Usually it's to pay the AD for leases or fees for something, it's not to support the AD.

For instance some schools student act's are actually under the AD, so the student's fee for the usage are paid to the AD. Therefore on the accounting side you can make it look like the school is funding the AD
