Are we sure Indiana didn’t shift a large portion of that money to football?

Hard to compare apples to apples. Many institutions hide expenses in the books of Foundations. Some report debt service as an A/D expense, while others do not. Etc.

Nothing surprising here. We have not been getting much of a
“ ROI “ , return on investment, for decades.

We’ve had the best run in school history, so recent expenses certainly have been a much better return.

This is absurd, Barnes has brought the greatest era of men's basketball in the history of UT. We had a down year this year and still had 22 regular seasons wins. That many wins in a down year with a 6th seed invitation to the tournament ain't bad. If you followed Tennessee basketball through the '90's you should be weeping for joy at the ROI were are getting now.

He said “for decades”. I don’t think he’s talking about Barnes’s tenure specifically.
