The only figures I can provide right now is a general summary the university provides that is titled NCAA membership financial reporting system for the year 2014

After all the pluses and minuses  football had an excess of$ 1,996,036
Basketball.     An excess of.                                                         $1,202,291

On the negative side, a category lists these things under direct institutional support, which are:
Women's basketball.       $909,669
Other sports.                      $9,483,666
Non specific.                      $15,608,012

The question becomes, what is this large non specific outlay, is it the stadium expansion, ex coach salaries?... As you ask, it is possible all buyouts and similar expenses might be in the non specific column.

For this I do not have an answer.
Creative accounting? ... Sounds like it... But I think they wanted to show that aside from buyouts and expansion costs, the program, unto itself, with current coaching salaries, etc, makes money.

Another question, should we be expecting the current program to be able to pay for the expansion, which was costly, or do figure it as a university expense like when you build a new science building, for example.

But again, in 4 to 5 years I would expect most or all the negative numbers are just about wiped out.
