That said, six SEC schools, including LSU, transferred a significant amount of athletic revenue — much of it produced via football — back to the academic side in 2015-16, according to documents. Florida sent its academic side the most ($22 million), followed by LSU ($11 million), South Carolina ($5.1 million), Kentucky ($4.4 million), Georgia ($4 million) and Mississippi State ($2.9 million).

UK's athletic program also put up $65 million of the $100 million for a new science building that opens this academic year.

I'm disappointed that there isn't a lot of research into the prevention of CTE on the fields. Surely there is technology possible that could minimize injuries. Imagine the side benefits of developing safety technologies.
