[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2206173, member: 26737"] I don't know about other schools, but athletics at OU are self-funded (ie, their operating budget is funded by their operations, not by OU's general budget). OU does receive money from the athletics operations, but the bigger draw for OU is the fact that it keeps the University in the minds of alumni and other donors, who also give money to support academic programs. T. Boone Pickens gave a lot of money to support athletics and academic programs at OSU; do you think he would've given nearly as much money if it weren't for OSU athletics? [/QUOTE]
