The concept is the Tiger AD generates a positive cash flow each year. That's not always the case. When it doesn't, the University covers the negative with other funds.
Two recent examples:
1. The Tiger AD did not get a final Big XII conference distribution, the penalty for leaving the Big XII. As a result the Tiger AD ran a 16.5 million deficit for that fiscal year. The University covered that deficit with other funds.
2. The Tiger AD ran about a 4-5 million deficit for 2016-17. Again, the University covered the AD by using money from other sources.
The Tiger AD's revenue goes to the University and its expenses are paid by the University. The University's overall budget, about 1.3 billion for the Columbia campus plus another 900 million for the Medical Center dwarfs the 100 million or so for the Tiger AD, so the University has always been able to cover any deficit.
The University's hope is if the Tiger AD has a loss in year #1, that in year #2 it will generate a surplus that will cover the loss.
