Unlike the university of Florida, UT's athletic Dept. is self-funded(doesn't take money from the state) and as such is not in the profit business. Most top NCAA program are at the break even status. I have the facts to prove it and your own Orlando paper ran a breakdown of all Athletic Deparments income and expeditures. That little article you posted also doesn't tell you the difference between what UT gets for ticket donations which is far less than UF gets since UF doesn't allow grandfathered ticket holders and UT does.
