That varies GREATLY based on the University...

Quick numbers...
Tennessee has 7 home games a year, 100,000 per game, 50 per ticket.
thats $35MM annually before you take tv/radio/ad revenue into account. Do they really get 50-100M annually in education grants?

I am sure the Medical schools probably do, but your average engineering (and admitedly this may be a horrible example as I have no knowledge of UT's med program) school i doubt gets these kind of donations ANNUALLY
