Message: [QUOTE="UBSU, post: 513129, member: 2966"] I found this article in Forbes before the holidays regarding the top ten NCAA Football Programs in regard to valuation and they listed UT as #9. [url]http://www.forbes.com/pictures/emdm45lieh/11-tennessee-volunteers/[/url] So it appears that UT is able to pull-in the revenues, especially with 90K fans at each home game and ticket prices steadily going up each year, but from a budget standpoint, can't balance their books. Also, those were huge expenditures for just stadium renovations at Neyland Stadium (over $130M). Seems like a catch-22, when you need a big contact to get a big-name coach in the SEC to win football games - yet when he doesn't win, you have to pay big bucks to buy-out his contract. At least SU didn't have to pay Marrone to leave to go to the Bills, so we saved some money there... [/QUOTE]
