Why is it that our expenses are so much more than our revenue? The only other schools close to this are Arizona, Kansas, West Virginia and okie st. Is some of the stadium included in this?
While the majority of this issue lies in the athletics fee, we will see an increase in revenue from the new tv contracts and increased attendance (I'm anticipating more opponent's fans traveling and a slight increase in our attendance). Plus, our expenses will also drop due to the proximity of our opponents (travel costs). This however is a drop in the bucket compared to where we really need to be and while Kram is right about the alum giving more (especially those untapped alum), in a year or two we need to increase the athletic's fee again. I think the bor is afraid of student numbers dropping if our tuition increases. The university just needs to bite the bullet and increase the fee. We shouldn't be at the bottom of the state in regards to this fee.
GMG!
