The subsidies are the frightening numbers.

So what does Bama do exactly with the nearly $20M 'profit?' Or should I not ask? ;)

In terms of percentage, my alma-mater is the fifth most-subsidized school on the list. Not shocking as they are only a few years into their D1 transition. Plus, they don't have football.

I find it amazing that Texa$ takes in $150M, but even more amazing is that they spend $130M.

I'm a little curious why A&M received a $9800 subsidy. What's the point of that amount?

It does make me happy that A&M and Texas are both essentially unsubsidized. Kind of surprising that only 8 schools are.
