thats $35MM annually before you take tv/radio/ad revenue into account. Do they really get 50-100M annually in education grants?
I am sure the Medical schools probably do, but your average engineering (and admitedly this may be a horrible example as I have no knowledge of UT's med program) school i doubt gets these kind of donations ANNUALLY

According to CNN/Si only 9 schools in teh country bring in enough money from their football programs to not only prop up teh rest of athletics, but also to contribute top teh school's general fund . Everybody uses it to prop up non-revenue sports, bu tvery few have enough to rollover. Just nine schools.
