[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 54244, member: 265"] Especially in relation to what is spent on non-athletes. See: [url]http://www.deltacostproject.org/sites/default/files/products/DeltaCostAIR_AthleticAcademic_Spending_IssueBrief.pdf[/url] Ah, always nice to find the data. What I found interesting was: • The unbelievable gaps between the subsidies for Div 1 athletes and for academic spending per student (the ratio between the medians for the SEC was [I]12.2[/I] in 2010). • The massive cost of salaries and benefits for coaches and athletic staff. • The massive role of ticket sales and donor contributions to sustaining the costs at all levels, but particularly for the top spending schools. • With a few exceptions, Div 1 athletic programs - even football - are [I]not[/I] self-supporting; fewer then 1 in four of the FBS schools brought in more money then they spent overall. I'll have to be more careful about how I spout off about this in future. [/QUOTE]
