Riiiiight.
In FY 2010, the Tennessee athletic department handed over $10.3 million dollars to the general fund. And that's not counting over $4m the department paid in sales tax, nor the nearly $24m take on sales tax from concessions & tickets alone, nor that they're funding Title IX requirements with only $1m in state money (similar programs are getting $2.5m to $8m in that area).
I think Mike Hamilton (the AD) is an idiot, but the money isn't going into gold plated tubs there.
