Way to look at it negatively. How about a positive post...If student fees were not counted as outside revenue (since it isn't from the outside) we are easily firstQuote:

Couldn't athletics take the place of an existing fee, i.e. vote that out
Can we get a little more help on this concept . . .Quote:

Small donations are the gateway to success.
Starting off with large donations as an immediate goal are a surefire roadblock to growing membership.
And some people complained about it. Yet, even with all the winning, that was the most important generational lesson he tried give this university.Quote:

And yet, here we are with <2k RCAF members.
Several here started out decades ago with TDP and the Ragin Cajun Club. Who will replace us?
And as the state of Louisiana continues to slash funding for higher education LA schools have no choice but to raise tuition and fees unfortunately. The cost of college in louisiana is one of, if not the fastest rising in the nation.Quote:

The third type of fee is assessed by the student body, usually through a vote. These fees are usually proposed by a student government association.

I didn't like paying them either, but it has become the norm at universities across the country.Quote:

This is true. That is because historically Louisiana college tuitions have been absurdly low. Until quite recently a student from Texas, could attend UL and pay out of state tuition for less than it would cost to attend Texas A&M as an instate student.Quote:

What par doesn't mention is Louisiana is the poorest state in the US outside of Mississippi. the state of Louisiana has over 54 percent of it's population on some type of federal and state subsidy and the state has a negative population growth. And let's not forget the negative business climate that has been created in this state over the past 8 years.Quote:

You can't keep biting the hand that feeds tax revenue and expect the same people at the top of the food chain to continually pay more taxes.
...you mean we CAN'T just Get Gordon to get this done !?!?Quote:

Is this what you are looking for? Has pretty good breakdown.Quote:

Yeah, I think I can make some assumptions with these numbers. Unfortunately, the breakdown is only for three sports. Thank you very much for posting.Quote:
