I agree with most of what you are saying: the golf course brings in a lot of revenue, it is critical to AD's financial success, etc., and should not be discounted.  But that doesn't make it an intercollegiate source of revenue (and saying that it doesn't qualify as this type or revenue doesn't discount its importance).  It can be an important source of revenue, it can fund intercollegiate activities, but it is not an intercollegiate source of revenue, the way that receipts from the Pac-12 networks are.

Bottom line, separating it out doesn't "discount" it or make it less important.  It just means that it isn't an intercollegiate athletics revenue source the way gate receipts or TV money, or conference bowl money is.
