UT Athletics Contributions toThe University Economy

The Departments of Intercollegiate Athletics are 100% self-sustaining auxiliary enterprises of The University and receive no state funds. They operate in the black.

They operate under the same budget and university policies as all UT auxiliary enterprises.

UT Athletics pays The University approximately $1.8 million in annual overhead fees.

In 2007-08 UT Athletics contribute more than $14 million to the UT economy in payment of tuitions, fees, housing, utilities, parking, UTPD, recreational sports, and other entities.

UT Athletics Contributions to The University Economy

During the last three years, UT Athletics has given back $5.6 million to UT administration.

The University receives approximately $500,000-600,000 in annual interest from UT Athletics cash balances.

The University Libraries system received $64,000 from The University of Texas Club revenues last year.

UT Athletics generates thousands of dollars each year for UT’s general scholarships fund through such honors as Chevrolet Player of the Game, etc.

NCAA CertificationIn April 2008, after an eighteen-month process, the NCAA recertified the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. This endeavor required extensive campus-wide participation and collaboration, including the leadership of President Bill Powers and the following committee chairs:

Shirley Bird Perry, Steering Committee Chair Patti Ohlendorf, Subcommittee on Governance & Commitment to Rules ComplianceDr. Isabella Cunningham, Subcommittee on Academic IntegrityDr. Greg Vincent, Subcommittee on Commitment to Equity & Student-Athlete Well-BeingDr. Louis Harrison, Working Group on Minority IssuesDr. Soncia Reagins-Lilly, Working Group on Student-Athlete Well-Being Dr. Gretchen Ritter, Working Group on Gender Issues

The Athletics Department is grateful to Shirley Bird Perry for her time and efforts as chair of our NCAA Certification Team.
