Can anyone tell us what the article said who can get behind the paywall?
 
GT’s AI 2020 was a $125M campaign designed to put $12M into GT’s Operations coffers and $88M into facilities.

Duke’s 2017 initiative for sports was a $250M endeavor & part of its $3.25B overall fundraising plan putting $100M into their Operations coffers & $100M into their facilities. Not sure what they did since but I’m sure they didn’t stand still while we tried to catch up.

We’re just getting our asses kicked. 4 years late and $125M short. It matters.

Duke also funds 27 programs to GT's 17, not sure that is apples-to-apples on athletics vs. football by itself.

Those numbers were for the athletics departments. Men’s Football and basketball dwarf the next most expensive sports, but they’re revenue generating. Duke’s Women’s Basketball loses $3M/yr, the next closest sport loses $300k. Most of their minor sports were around $100k in the red or less. That’s only $1M/yr on a $90M budget, barely moved the needle.

Bottom line is Duke has way more money to operate their sports programs with. It’s why they’re able to break even and we’re more than $10M/yr in the hole right now.

Stansbury had the balls to gamble the money we’re investing now will pay off later. He’s riding CGC and if he only produces the same results we got before at much higher costs, his legacy is not going to be pretty.

Amazing that Duke really doesn't need results or football attendance to do it

Right? I honestly feel like we can fix our woes by winning but it’s going to take years if sustained success combined with more local support and enthusiasm.
 
How much does the (private school) University give to Duke athletics vs what Todd (public school) gets from the Institute?
