What are these inefficiencies?


Or just Google "Tennessee athletic budget". Whatever you want.

The athletic department spends a startling $21 million a year on debt payments, $13.5 million of which comes from the school’s stressed $99.5 million athletic budget and the rest from donations.


Sounds efficient.

They are under capacity and spent at capacity. Numbers are at rock bottom because the Vols are at rock bottom. They have no where to go but up. Even if they can get back to 8 win seasons that negative changes quickly. Ticket sales go up and donations go up. The point being made is they have already built their capacity and now must just pay it off. Put together a few 10 win seasons and that deficit goes quickly.

200 Million / 10,000 seats = 20,000 per seat
200 million / 20,000 seats = 10,000 per seat

Don't get me wrong, if the Vols stay down for another decade or so it will hurt long term. The opposite hold true as well tho and they are built up already. What would it cost to get Mizzou to a 100K stadium and a 20K arena just to match the Vols capacity?
