kansasforeverTard . . . where did I say ku was "making anything up"? How got damn stupid are you??
This isn't that hard, different schools do their athletic department accounting differently . . . go to the DOE EiA website and read the disclaimer right on the front page.
All I am saying is that in the past, ku has treated capital project giving as revenue . . . until I actually see ku's financial report (which apparently they don't post anymore) how do we know they haven't done the same thing again?? Last Spring ku sold a bunch of revenue bonds for facilities improvements . . . are you sure ku didn't count that as revenue?? No, you're not sure, because until you see the actual financial report you wouldn't know. The report that schools give the DOE is NOT a true financial report.
Plus, how hard is it to understand that some schools have entirely separate fund raising arms for their athletic departments, wholly separate entities from a structural standpoint and it's entirely plausible that those schools DO NOT count the money those entities generate for the athletic department say for capital projects as athletic department revenue.
Again, this isn't that hard, but leave it to the ku tard to make it hard.
