Can an athletic department go broke?

TV revenues are down from previous contract, but once you add in money from the "reserve fund" -- exit fees, entry fees, etc. -- USF should be able to operate under same budget moving forward. Doesn't look like anything that would prompt dissolving any sports or making any substantial cuts to staff.

How far looking forward, though? .... and that's if we get all the exit fees.

We need our very own T. Boone Pickens...

Looks like new TV contract will be seven years. Difference between previous TV revenue and new one is about $1.2 million per, best I can tell, so the entrance/exit fee money should be able to cover much of the shortfall ...

Would be very interesting to see if/how much Big East name gets sold for. I saw a 8-10m figure thrown out there. 

 

I'm gonna be completely unbiased and say we need a larger proportion of the exit fees (why the f should they go to the newbs?) as well.
