Message: [QUOTE="CuseOnly, post: 625059, member: 2804"] My apologies, wrong article. Read this one: [url]http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/04/who_will_pay_syracuse_universi.html[/url] Did you read about the part that the Athletic Department is a NET LOSER even after all money is figured in? ACC or otherwise. "Most people believe that athletics generates money and helps support the university. That's not so," said Robert van Gulick, a member of the University Senate budget committee. “You’ve got 35 or 40 sports and only two of them (football and men’s basketball) are making money. Athletic scholarships are paid by financial aid, which is entirely financed by schools and colleges. If the athletics department had to pay for athletic scholarships, they’d be bankrupt.” Point being that the school adn Athletic Department will not turn down additional money regardless of where it comes from. Especially 5 mil a year for playing a game in Metlife. [/QUOTE]
