The nature of a (non-profit, public) college budget is that projections have to match up to the dollar - I'm sure you'll understand why, if you consider the accounting issues for a bit.

Obviously they won't at the end of the year (although it will be close) - last year, I believe the final #s put a couple hundred grand back into the general fund, but I don't have a source readily available (just what I recall from the last time I used this example).
