Big Time Football and how it affects every one involved
http://www.themillions.com/2015/01/why-big-time-college-football-sucks.html
I was preparing commentary and links for a discussion in ACCT 5308 of the Penn State, Baylor Football Scandals in contrast to the Charlie Strong experience at UT Austin.
And I realized another part of the story is to make the class aware of just what Elephants UT and A & M really are.
I will diagram the public universities of Texas tomorrow in ACCT 5308.
UT and A & M system share the interest and dividends of the PUF with UT 2/3 and A & M 1/3.
IN addition understand that UT and A & M have their own fund raising efforts. A & M
A & M is on the way to raising $4 Billion

But here are some great links
UT Permanent Fund -Just how big is it- $17.5 Billion!

UT System Notice at this link that the UT endowment is twice the size of the PUF!

A & M System

IN contrast consider the next biggest system, Texas Tech at a mere $1.2B

University of Houston System – $700 M, see the difference?
