I don't think that athletics money can cross to the other side of the house...I don't even think bookstore purchases (merch, textbooks, etc) can go toward academic operations/expenditures, can it?  Even if the AD were to become financially independent of the university, I don't know if that's enough to make up for the shortfall.
