Just looked at the Ath. Dept. Annual Report (not the Annual Financial Report) .

[sonofdaxjones]

there's been $108.9 million in cash donations to K-State Athletics in the last 5 years, including a record $35.8 million in cash donations in FY 2013 ($20 million is capital giving so it won't be counted as operational revenue).   

That's an avg. of $21.78 million per year.

K-State Athletics had operating revenue of $66 million and $61.7 million in operating expenses.

I am making a legitimate prognostication based on evidence (fire sale at ticket office). no hate involved.

If we don't already have a bunch of hot girls giving it up to recruits then our problem is larger than I thought. I'm ok with them not having official titles though.

I'd love to see one more massive facility upgrade in football and an OOD facelift before Currie leaves.

I forgot to add this to my original post:

This has been a John Currie resume bullet point minute.
