How much money does UT Ath Dep have?

[DjCrenshaw]

I was listening to sports talk on my commute home, and if I am not mistaken Jimmy Hyams said that UT's Ath Department only has 5 million stashed away. Bammers on the other hand has stock pilled some 80 million on the back burner.

First off, is this a pretty accurate figure?

Secondly, does this mean we can't throw a whole bunch of money at a lot of coaches? I know the negavols will enjoy this, but would it hamper our ability to replace Dooley?

Lastly, what caused UT to be in that situation? Was it all of the renovations that Hammy put us up to, or is it all of the coaches' buyouts that we are involved with?

I don't know, but they don't seem to have much trouble raising money.

Rule of thumb: if Hyams says it, it's probably inaccurate.

 

[BJWeeks]

Bama has been to 3 BCS bowls which has a nice payout might be part of it

 

[DjCrenshaw]

Well, I think it could effect us as fans down the road or have more implications to the team later.

7. They have 7.

Does the count laugh after that?

Rule of thumb: if Hyams says it, its's probably inaccurate.

I know the little LSU hobbit doesn't always speak complete truths, but I figured someone on here might have some sort of an idea.

Well hell, we won't know until april.

UT AD has most of its money tied up in buildings and future growth plans.

They have some cash on hand - not sure how much.

Money is not an issue for this AD - if they need it they know where to get it.

I thought the SEC shared the bowl money with all schools. Brother can you spare a dime?

Exactly. We have control of the state government now.

I don't know how much our AD makes or stashes away. I found this interesting though. We are ranked 13th on Forbes top college programs.
