Penn State athletics is in the black.

The Nittany Lions athletics department reported $2.9 million in operating gains for the 2016 fiscal year, according to its NCAA Annual Financial Report, released Friday. The department remains self-sufficient and well-positioned financially despite seeing a small dip from last year's positive balance of $3.45 million.
