We'll never catch up....

Are the big USA, FIU and FAU student fees in place of or in addition to general fund transfers?

Awhile back approval was given by the d______s in BR allowing us to significantly increase our general fund transfer to athletics (in fact I think the additional money is already showing up in the UL athletic budget).

My question is -

Do USA and the Fla schools have both or just student fees?

A second question - If we had to pick between the two, which would be better in terms of the larger amount of money generated?

IMO, the best funding of all would be big private sector support and donations, student fees (NOT general fund transfers) and, of course, big time money generated by the AD itself (ticket sales, etc etc etc.).

I believe they are allowed to do both. Their respective athletic budget will soon dwarf our own at UL. The state needs to allow us to impose student fees as well as the general fund transfer if we are ever going to be competitive.

Wouldn't it be nice though if we opened up the purse and pulled out a fiPleasel of $100 bills instead of a fiPleasel of $1 bills.

BeauCajun, I have it!

We sell whine at the games instead of beer. 10 bucks a shot and it's all the whine you want. We'll make millions I tell you, millions.

37 days 'til Kick Off.

DC - Good idea. But then they'll want cheese with their whine. Then the complaint will be "Hey where's our crackers? We've been contributing to this program for X amount of years. We can do all the whining we want."

I'd much prefer my beer during a sporting event. But then, that's a whole different thread.
