Without our system wealth we lack the collateral to get the credit line needed to buy a stadium like we just did. Plus we also directly dipped into academic funds for the AD this decade via a loan.
so your athletic department can't fund expansion like other big time football programs? that's all I got out of your statement
Sort of. What it means is, their athletics program was financially broke and needed a life raft...
That life raft? Alabama, LSU, et al.

Not quite.
What the deal was is we traded Texas eyeballs and Texas viewers for the SEC's reputation and immediate financial advantages.
When you consider who owned those eyeballs in the state before the SEC came around, a better analogy is we just sold our big brother's truck to pay our frat dues.
Sorry big bro.
