Athletic Director Morgan Burke, the former vice president of a steel company, has handled Purdue's business with an old fashioned fiscal ethic in his 20year tenure. "Burke supports 18 varsity sports on a budget of $70 million, and he does so without sacrificing quality, or conscience. Think it harms the Boilermakers competitively? Think again. In 20112012, a total of 14 Purdue teams earned postseason NCAA berths, a school record. Individual athletes have won a total of 11 NCAA titles. Meantime the graduation rate for all athletes was 78 percent and they delivered a cumulative GPA of 3.01. True, the football pro- ^ 2012-13 Bowl participant gram is struggling this season at 1-6, but from 1997 to 2007, the Boilermakers appeared in 10 bowl games, including a Rose Bowl. And Burke's careful management means that when football is weak, other sports don't have to suffer, and he doesn't have to plunder the university's coffer." In the article, Burke said, "We try to make sure we have adequate reserves each year, so if we have a year when the team doesn't perform well, you're not going to the university hat in hand." According to the NCAA, only 23 athletic departments out of the 228 that play Division I football covered their expenses in 201112. And of those, just seven were fully self-sufficient; the rest needed subsidies from their states or universities. also says television contract reveThe Boil- nue is critical, given the softening ermaker ath- of ticket gate money.
