Not sure why Dionne Warwick has to get pulled into this.

Student athletic fees are insane. No reason to prop programs like Tennis and Sailing on the students....

Ain't like you gotta pay it, if you don't like it then get to steppin. Slam Dunk U down south will take your money

Students have no control or say over their fees at any university. Las year Texas A&M just stopped providing a list of all of the fees and instead wrapped them all into one charge and called it the "University Advancement Fee" and its about $1,000 a semester depending on credit hours so you have no idea where the money goes. Fees are a scam at every university if you ask me. I think all should be optional or just included in tuition if we don't have any choice anyway.

I actually think the student contribution to athletics at USF is okay considering the benefits sports has for the university. At some schools with these huge budgets and donors I don't think students should be paying if other sources can fill the need.

This has turned into a pretty epic thread. Thanks bull cocky and Riz.

No problem, sometimes it is fun to stir the pot to make the message board more interesting (thus the username)...if we agreed all the time then it would be pretty boring.

I found it interesting that Kentucky has an athletic budget of $104 million, this year, and that does not include the renovation to the Rupp Arena and Convention Center (estimated to cost more than $300 million). That's all owned by the city of Lexington, so the city and state are picking up the bill on that.

And our state designates "Flagship" research  institutions who get an extra $10MM for breathing. I say we go all Pirate-ass on their "Flagships"  and come away with their Treasure and their wenches.

 

That ship has to be good for something

I bet KUboobs twitter helps Kansas find raise. Maybe something USF could look into.
