Student fee to possibly fund on-campus football stadium

[BrassBulls12]

"Student Body President Moneer Kheireddine said student fees could be used to fund an on-campus football stadium during his State of the Student Body Address on Wednesday."

"Kheireddine said the potential fee could range between $30 and $80 a semester per student. He also noted that Student Government (SG) could not change student fees without a vote by the student body and that any statement regarding student fees to fund a stadium is currently hypothetical."

Had this in another thread but thought it could lead to some separate discussion. At what point do the students stop financing athletics at the rate they currently do?

We have threads in need of a merge

Not until there is substantial alumni and community support via donations and ticket purchases.

Can't rely that much on student fees.  I want an OCS really bad but don't want to raise tuition and hit up the students to fund it.

I want an OCS as much as anyone, but I always find it interesting when someone says “The fee would go away, but the stadium would stay.”  

Does anyone believe we would give up revenue that is basically accepted once the bonds are paid?  

We need to have a true fundraising effort for a stadium.  If that’s successful and students feel they want to pitch in (more than then large % they already do today) then maybe that’s ok.

I'm not a fan of raising tuition for a stadium that isn't a necessity. You may not like RayJay and you may want the stadium to be closer but it isn't needed. At the end of the day, we still have a decent stadium to play in.

I see you are new here.  Logic does not work here.
