to have to go and find ways to spend it, but that's not too hard to do. Just throw in a $10K/locker locker room. Build a putt-putt course. Any number of ways to get rid of that money. It also doesn't take into account what the booster clubs have. That's why you'll see a sudden revenue increase. Fundraising is separate and the athletic departments don't get it until needed. Usually for building projects.

Athletic programs aren't the only ones guilty of it. I see it all the time with the schools I have business with.

This is all assuming pay will go to the players from the schools, which isn't on the table at this moment.
