The UM system budgeted out $2,265,000 as "campus support" for athletics in 2009. The total revenues of the UM system in 2009 were projected to be $1,747,983,434. That "campus support" for athletics that RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE TRIBUNE COMMENTER ATHLETICS TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM ACADEMICS RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE was 0.001296 percent of the UM system's total revenue, unless I misread the data.

From research I'm doing for my sociology of sport paper that's going to strongly argue against Earl Smith's "I hate college athletics" argument in Race, Sport, and the American Dream.
