Athletics is entirely self-funded at Clemson... with an extra $2.8 million kicked back to the academic side of campus.
That's both good and bad. The football team is a golden goose that pays for a lot of other sports programs. But the budget does have to balance. There's surely at least some truth to the implication that the swimming program paid for the football coach's raise.
It's too bad there are not 80,000 people willing to pay $50 each to watch a swim meet, in which case we wouldn't be having this discussion.
