Might explain how Penn State outbid them for their defensive coordinator

until there is tangible proof to the contrary, we should get comfortable with this perception (aka reality):

their goal is to win

ours is to profit

Just flat out stupid types of dollars spent on athletics all across the US. There is going to be a reckoning one of these days. 38 million deficit? crazy!

I don't get it. How do you run a deficit of 38 million and think the next year your going to get it right? Where are you cutting, or who's giving more...and how long can you sustain it?

OSU is simply following the example set by the federal government. $36 trillion in debt yet nobody seems to care.

i don't know the specifics but often these deficits are the result of non-recurring expenses like facility expansions. like you though, how much money does it take to field 15 or more athletic teams at or above the breakeven point?

They make a lot more with the increase in enrollment.
