John Ramsey mentioned this little factoid (my translation in the header) at the very end of the R&R Show today...
Podcast
LPT athletic schollies are NOT paid by their athletic department as they are U of L. So net that number--in the range of $15 million would be my guess--off of whatever "profit" LPT athletics reports every year. Anyone know that number?
At the same time, this revenue stream to the academic side at U of L is THIRTY FREAKING PERCENT of the U of L athletics budget. The total of tuition, books, room & board for scholarship athletes plus walk-ons who pay their own expenses is a whopping $30.6 million annually...paid BY U of L athletics TO academics.
[That damn Jurich is just as amazing on administrative leave.]
As I understand, these numbers were furnished to Ramsey by Kelly Dickey...
