Even big schools like UF have struggled financially in the past.
In all, UF’s athletic program brought in $106 million in 2007-2008 against $98 million in expenses.
Administration and the general costs of running the University Athletic Association used 22 percent of the budget. The operating costs of the football team were 16 percent of the budget, and money for scholarships occupied 8 percent.
