    I think the subsidies for each school are interesting.

    Where we rank: 125

    Notable schools ranked above us: San Diego State (62), East Carolina (65), Texas State (84), Middle Tennessee (87), Western Kentucky (87), FIU (91), FAU (98), Southern Miss (105), Northh Texas (118), Louisiana Tech (121), Appalacian State (122).

    The numbers show that we run slightly in the red, as do a few other schools on the list.
    Interesting data. I am amazed at how much some states subsidize their school's athletic budgets. Really, if no school's received any subsidies it would make us look a little better when comparing moneys raised just from donors and ticket prices. Some schools like UNLV and Rutgers are really not that self-supporting and have huge subsidies compared to similar schools where the states are not so generous. I wonder what the best choices are for continued growth i.e. more contributions, more subsidies (probably not) or other ideas?

    I was thinking the same thing. Such as, "Why is Tech's subsidy over 2 million more than UL's??" What is driving that?

    The diffference may be in assessed student athletic fees.

    Additional interesting numbers (UL is not listed here). Note that LSUA&M's library spending is comparable to that of UC Riverside. Embarassing for them.

    As it should be. Riverside is an academic institution.

    Yeah, I am not sure what his point was on this. UC Riverside is part of the UC system in California and my wife got her undergrad from UC Riverside and Masters from UC Irvine.

    The only difference between UC Riverside and LSUA&M, is that UC Riverside is a "FINE" academic institution.

    Yes, we are E-V-I-L.....we are the villains. Remember the '08 IBowl?...we kept you out! We cook the books, we lied to get into USA. We're not even a Tier 1 school.... We faked that too. Does that make you feel better?

    The sky is blue, the grass is green, the sun rises in the east and Tech is a bunch of skalawags
