Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 5332993, member: 622"] The Ohio State Buckeyes AD ran $38MM in the red last year (2023-2024). Obviously, Rutgers says "Hold my beer." TOSU has failed to dip into student fees and did win a championship in football, was competitive in other sports and did not rely on "loans" from the school or state which will never be paid back.

It brought in $254.9 million in total operating revenues over the period, a decline of $24.6 million from the previous fiscal year, contributing to the budget shortfall.[/I] Imagine if Syracuse had that budget, we be top ten in every sport, men's and women's, and return money to the school.
