re: It's great that the AD can help out the Academic side, but look at Tennessee...

Again, you can't just plug that money in and expect it to be there every year because what's going to happen is the AD side, deprived of it's ability to compete at the same level as it's peers, will begin to fall behind on the field, which will in turn lead to less revenue to poach. It's not a sustainable model.

With the growth of the regional networks, if the financial projections are accurate (and they might not be), it could be sustainable.

It is obviously not wise to count on the money of others, I agree with you there. However, even the AD has to report to someone, and no university president is going to set himself up for a billion dollar lawsuit by removing tenured faculty or destroy a school by declaring financial exigency while football practice fields with dozens of flat screen TVs are being put up.
