[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 646298, member: 282"] To add on, over the last couple of years, questions come up asking why the academic side of GT doesn’t fund the GTAA. The school does give to the state 10% maximum. It would be challenging to give more even without that limit, since there are strings attached to a lot of our funds. We can’t take funds from a next generation radar contract at GTRI and use them to fund our basketball team; the contracts say explicitly what the grants are for. Some people got fired recently for spending grant money on morale events. The specific designations are also going to be the case with other funds. You’d have to raise the student athletic fees that students pay to get more than the 10% we get now. For the most part, the money for athletics needs to be raised for athletics—either through ticket sales, or broadcast rights, or other rights (programs, jerseys), or fundraising (AT fund). We’ve been middle of the pack in attendance. There are some other ways we haven’t been as strong in revenue. I’m sure others can explain it better than I can.
