Is the VT athletic department losing money?

The Washington Post did an article on college athletic programs that are losing money. That article identifies Virginia Tech as one of the 28 programs out of 48 in the P-5 who are losing money.

What gives? I thought VT was one of those programs in the black? I'm guessing they aren't including student fees, but if they're going to claim a program is losing money, shouldn't they list only the ones who are actually losing money?

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
