athletics is alleged to be self-sustaining -- they allegedly get zero dollars from tuition or appropriation.

also they only receive donations that are earmarked for athletics.

note that I do think there are some ancillary costs that transfer to the greater university from athletics, but on paper, athletics funds itself.

I agree that it's ridiculous to spend that kind of money on stadium reno.

Thing is, they are your revenue front end. The idea that money is held back from overhead is stupid. - Will Hunting Jul 30, 10:12 3
- the university takes 30 cents on every dollar of donation for administration. so like if you donate a buck to the college of ed, they get 70 cents. - mandy on home machine Jul 30, 10:20 2
  - We got similar here -- the university as a whole pays like shit -- did I ever mention here what my co-worker DBA got offered at UT? - Will Hunting Jul 30, 10:25 1
    - penn state says that COL in central PA is very low and that its benefits bolster actual pay. it's true that 75% off tuition is nice but - mandy on home machine Jul 30, 10:31
