I believe Jay posted that we are either second or third in money spent on baseball. This is kind of what I was thinking. We spent more money of our budget on the more prominent sports. I wonder what other sports James Madison and Texas State spend their money on?

Good summation. And with Louisiana's wage index approximately 75% of the national average its a tough sell convincing folks raising tuition and fees will be good for them. Especially considering how much tuition and fees have increased the past 15 years, outpacing inflation versus wage growth on balance has not kept pace with inflation.
Not sure why it will not let me edit my post. Here is updated info with Southern Miss, Marshall, Old Dominion, and James Madison.
