Some Notes: ku was
down $13 million in gross revenues 2007-2008 to 2008-2009 and according to Lew Perkins in a USA Today article in April is currently operating in the red, their 07-08 to 08-09 Net Revenues plummeted as well, they were $17 million in the black in 07-08 down to just around $2 million in the black in 08-09. Of course based on what I hear from WEF Elites, who knows if these numbers are correct . . . Lew freaked after the K-State audit, and cooked their books according to Elite WEF's, and thus that's one reason why so called "auditors" didn't detect all the money laundering and fraud with the tickets.
K-State operated in the red for 2008-2009 likely due to buyouts and loss in investment revenue, Gross Revenue was down about $1 million, and as stated net revenue dropped from around +8, to -2.7 million . . . which now that I think about was almost exclusively due to loss in the investment value of the athletic endowment.
OSU was $17 million in the hole due to losses in investment revenue which Boone Pickens wrote a check to cover. A&M showed strong Net Revenues, but they had to borrow $16 million from the school so I don't know how they got their numbers, nor do I understand why they recently had to borrow so much money.
One Wildcard in this is Baylor which does not show athletic capital improvement giving as revenue on the athletic department books (other athletic departments do this as well) . . . they've built about $50 million dollars in new facilities down in there in the last 3 years, all privately funded. So that's a school that quietly has a lot of money.
Texas shows why everybody else is their bitch.
