Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 2487206, member: 2531"] We claim it's an accounting quirk, but I wonder if that claim is to try to boost donations ("give us money because we're in a dire position" is more compelling than "give us money even though we're floating in cash") I also wonder if we're using accounting quirks to bring us to balanced. For instance, the academic side is almost certainly charging the athletic dept. the full cost of scholarships (vs the incremental cost of adding those kids to the student body), and the Dome might be rented out to the athletic side at a profit. I think that the academic side also charges a tax on the conference TV deal. [/QUOTE]
