The only thing I can see is that is long term debt where debt for large building projects comes into play (i.e. recent south end zone expansion).

Maybe it's cheaper to keep a cash surplus and keep the debt out there on a loan due to low interest rates?

Another article in the series talks about Alabama's debt over 200k, but...
quote:

Just in case they don’t, Alabama athletics has set aside a reserve fund of about $180 million, enough to cover the costs of the entire athletic department at most top-tier football schools for three years.

Very interesting reads regardless.

That's a poorly written article, no mention of the TAF, which is taking on all that debt, not LSU AD. TAF, private LLC, pays for all the additions to ath. dept. additions.
