How does LSU/TAF actually structure their finances?

Certainly donations that come in don't just sit there until they get paid out...

Is it similar a university endowment where its all principal invested which generates revenue.

As a hypothetical, if TAF received 20 million a year in donations since 2000 that would be around 500 million sitting in a fund where a 4% dividend would pay 20 million a year. Do they also own oil leases?

"LSU is broke" is a common trope, but the way LSU/TAF is offering money it seems like they have a huge warchest.

I actually just read their audit which is public and online.


It seems my 500 million example was spot on somehow

TAF brought in $97 million in net revenue from all streams and had aroud $60 million in expenses. A net profit of $37 million... which im sure gets rolled into more investments for the future.

Looks like money isnt an issue if im understanding these balance sheets.
