I don't think the issue is with the dates. The issue is that these are not true representations of the schools annual budget.
Here is a link from the Tennessean covering the same dated timespan.
The profit numbers are different. Why? Debt. Paying back bonds. I appreciate the civil conversation on the subject. But debt and paying down the debt is what got me involved in the thread.
It isn't profit if you don't put it into your reserve fund. As of 2 years ago, Tennessee had the smallest reserve fund in the conference and the third largest debt. If all this money is profit, where is it going? To facilities? Because that still isn't profit. That is paying back debt.
The good news is that your revenue is so high that you should be able to make financial improvements to your balance sheet. But are you? Or does the athletic fund still take money from the University.

Reserve fund was up to $18.4 Million as of last October. UT needs to be about double that to approach what other SEC programs are at right now. You don't get there by half-filling stadiums and missing bowl games (which is the path UT is on right now). I know that the bowl games don't actually result in much profit (if any) but it does help drive merchandising.
