There was a recent comment here on BTP postulating that Debbie Yow was getting the NC State Athletics Department into a great deal of debt. Given the narrative that Debbie Yow left Maryland in financial shambles, this appeared to be a concern with merit. This spurred me to do a deep dive on NC State’s Athletic Department financials. I did this mostly through the data from the Equity in Athletics (EIA) Data Analysis (EADA) tool. I also looked at the strategic plan updates for NC State Athletics.
