Don't hunt them to extinction, Dax.

Dax is the Nisshin Maru.

Here is the top 10 in profit margin for athletic dept operations:
1.) Oregon - 34.96%
2.) Alabama - 21.19%
3.) Penn State - 17.42%
4.) Oklahoma State - 16.48%
5.) Michigan - 16.42%
6.) K-State 15.66%

7.) Iowa - 15.61%
8.) Oklahoma - 11%
9.) Georgia - 10.73%
10.) Texas - 9.14%

This is pretty incredible...but I'm pretty sure the only reason we're on this list is because we don't offer a lot of the non-$ generating sports (e.g. men's tennis, soccer, etc...).

This seems relatively cheap when compared with the stadium upgrades.  Does John know about it?
