In addition, of 230 athletic departments ranked, LSU was one of only seven that relied completely on self-generated revenue along with Texas, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Nebraska and Purdue. Every other SEC school received some sort of subsidy, the least being Kentucky with $861,548.

Bama and Auburn aren't on that list. A few short years ago, the only two in this list were Nebraska and LSU.

Just trying to keep it factual, carry on.

Actually, an entire athletic department that self supports is pretty special. There are only a dozen or so in the country.
