<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">There definitely has been mixed results with the athletic teams this year, but football definitely financially subsidizes the majority of these sports. Winning
in the Olympic sports doesn't help financially. Even with the recent success and support for baseball, I would be surprised if the expenses were lower than revenues. Everything I've read (and the internet is always right) states that donations and football
tickets are down this year due to consecutive under performing years of the football team. Even though college athletics is "amateur," we are fooling ourselves if we don't think of this as a business and the Athletic Director is the CEO. If football can
no longer support the other sports, Barta is ultimately accountable.</span></p>
