Baylor and Kansas have balanced budgets???

And how in the hell does Kansas State's program earn over 20 million in '10-'11 fiscal year? Texas is expected to pull in these kind of numbers but Kansas State?

K-State did a great job, but they only brought in $68.8 million as compared to Texas who brought in $150 million. K-State also did well with their expenses but they don't spend near the amount as Texas or Oklahoma. I was actually surprised OSU didn't make more, they made roughly the same as Kansas.

T. Boone must have list the farm. The wind farm, that is.

I know we are talking millions here, but for major D1 schools, its amazing to see schools like Texas Tech and Iowa State only spend $48 million. If you want to be top rate programs, you have to find ways to make money, but you have to spend money as well. I will say, its good to see that at least they are not over budget.
