Pharm73 something doesn't add up big time in your explanation.(not to be argumentative) How can football and basketball be profitable while RU keeps losing huge $ overall in athletics? I can't imagine the 2 mens sports RU has that SU doesn't - wrestling and golf and the 2 womens sports - swimming and golf are causing the need for over $100 million in subsidies over the past 3 years.

Remember RU was thrilled to go to the Big 10 in the first place because they were needing subsidies, hemorrhaging money in the Big East well before joining. Somewhere the numbers don't add up. If I was an RU fan, looking at the numbers logically - something doesn't make sense. With so many years of the large subsidies they have had, it will take many years to clear up that debt before RU athletics show a profit overall. Sure doesn't make sense if football, basketball have been breaking even, less making a small profit. Administration costs would have to be outrageous.
