UCF's breakneck realignment rise, and what might come next
The Knights refused to settle, demanded more and now are here to take whatever they can.
This is the poster child for the AAC and CDOA failures. UCF is in a HUGH market and as of 2022 has 68k students. Location and lack of easy, direct competition an hour or less away has a lot to do with their success.
They’re a unicorn which the “go after big markets” conferences fail to understand.
68k students with a $14.32/credit hour athletic fee.
If 68k students average 12 credit hours per spring/fall semester, that's $23,370,240 per year going straight to athletics.
Wow. Did the students vote for that fee?
You need to deduct the credits for students on athletic scholarship, lol
