Missouri Athletics Dept fails to turn a profit?

Was wondering about Vandy, then read the article. A more accurate rendition might be that Mizzou is the only public SEC member to not turn a profit.
What makes you think Vandy didn't turn a profit? I would be surprised if they didn't turn a huge one.
Why were they ever allowed in? They are a complete embarrassment to the SEC.
I despise that school. Anything negative that happens to Missouri is alright with me.
Kick them out...
Being part of the SEC is to bring in money into the conference...
We're not a Welfare Conference and if you can't pull your load, out you go!!!
$625k - Minus IOU of $75,000 to coach Dawn Staley.
Once again, they were not allowed in, they were invited in. And they've won the East twice in football, the SEC's most important sport, since they've been in. How many times have we won the East? They are members of the American Association of Colleges and Universities, one of only four conference institutions to enjoy that distinction. The fact that the league only has four such members, and half of those are the latest schools added, is an embarrassment to the SEC.
Doubt the SEC spends too much time being embarrassed over that.
But they added two such schools, when only one made sense otherwise in all aspects, so it must have been a consideration.
Maybe not, but USC tried hard under Dr. Palms to receive an invitation to the AAU....significantly improving the library, a huge endowment campaign, endowed chairs, etc. IIRC, state funding killed our chances.
If I Remember Correctly...
SC does not fund it's colleges and universities to nearly the same extent as other states. We have a very poor records of college funding from the state level.
On point. AAU universities earn the majority of competitively awarded federal funding for academic research. Do not kid yourself THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL for a university.
Mizzou is also going through some big facility upgrades with its football stadium. Could be they saw a loss this year due to that .
Sometimes you take a loss to produce more of a profit later down the road.

And yet people will be screaming to the heavens that USC raised tuition, yet again, today.
I'm being picked on! Where is my safe place?Oh please not this again, we just discussed this.
wow, i seem to have heard that back n '92........u old enough 2 remember '92 dont u?
USC has a much higher graduation rate than Mizzou. They aren't even at 70%. Anybody can teach inter gender basket weaving and protesting 101 and claim they are some super Harvard. That's the truth about Missouri.
No wonder you live in Sacramento. =;-p
yeah, we turn out general study majors...that'll bump any grad rate.........oh & university 101..... apron string cuttin' carolina style
If they weren't outstanding academically, they wouldn't be in the American Association of Colleges and Universities, an organization they have belonged to for years. Maybe their graduation rates are lower because their standards are higher.
Missouri shouldn’t be in the Southeastern Conference because they aren’t in the Southeast.
With that said, what is Missouri truly known for? Thought it was journalism.
king, we b dealin' w/ some folks that may not have some of the necessities of a proper thought process.
my guess, they missed a very important day in school...........graduation day
Well, they did run her off...under pressure from the legislature as I remember.
