Will Leitch at The Athletic expresses in pretty clear terms the financial calculus of college athletic departments - extract more money from the fans to be competitive. If your football team can't keep up, it's the fans' fault. This is a gift article that should be accessible to everyone.

To paraphrase an old joke, 

Reporter’s Q: Why’d you fire the coach?
GM’s A: We couldn’t fire all the fans.

Ole Miss has 90 suites, each holding between 20-32 people.  I imagine those suites cleared more than $15 per person.

That's interesting. Ole Miss is in Oxford, which is in Lafayette County. Lafayette County is a dry county, whereas the City of Oxford allows sales of alcoholic beverages...but there are parts of the Ole Miss campus which are outside of the city of Oxford and those areas are dry. Possession of alcohol, however, is legal statewide.
