I had heard in the late 90's woman's basketball was running more then $500k in the red.

I would love to see a financial breakdown on each of the sports in the
athletic department. Have any of them, other than basketball, turned
a profit. My guess is.. not even close !

Some people just don't realize how much money Huggins generated with a winning basketball program. Huggins meant millions to the athletic program. They bragged on Goin in today's paper about how he raised the athletic budget from 14 million to 25 million and he really had little to do with it. If it wasn't for Huggins and the money the basketball team brought in it wouldn't have happened. If Goin accomplished anything, it all came about by riding on Huggins back all the time he was here. The new AD doesn't have Huggins to ride on and with the money going south it's going to be a different story. He's got so many holes in the dike to plug I don't think he has enough fingers. Don
