About how their merchandise royalties goes into the Athletic Department Revolving Fund to help all sports, not just football, Tiffany Kuraoka, assistant AD for business said:
"The amount we get this year will be very high. That will be a windfall for us. ... Believe me it will be spent." (HSB)
HSB Note: "UH received $631,910 in the fiscal year ending June 30, compared with $317,009 in the previous year, according to Carolyn Tanaka, UH vice president of external affairs. The money doesn't reflect actual retail sales, but payments from licensed wholesalers who put a UH logo on products. They pay the university 8 percent of the selling price of goods to the university. Sales of UH Sugar Bowl-related merchandise soared after the football team received an invitation to the Bowl Championship Series event in New Orleans."
HSB Note: "The money from 2007 and 2008 has yet to be distributed, in part because the administration is still deciding how to do that, Tanaka said. The formula changes year-to-year depending on sales. In 2006, the largest chunk of money, nearly 70 percent, went to the UH-Manoa Athletics Department, 24 percent went to the UH system office, and about 4 percent to the UH-Hilo Athletics Department."
