Funding & Student Fees

[R1Letterman]

Yea, I would not support a large athletic fee imposed on students unless other student fees were eliminated or consolidated.

A bar in CWS already generated $104,395 in revenue by selling jello shots as of 4 hours ago. As RR said on Twitter, we need to grow our RCAF donor base and get creative in doing it.

isnt it supposed to be up to the students? hard to believe they voted for some of the ones on that list but dont want athletics instead

When the vote for the Master Plan was on, the school relied HEAVILY on athletic dreams leading up to getting it passed.

While I do still run, the combination of food, IPAs and old age means that the power from that wheel ain't gonna quite cut it.

You running hurdles or 5k's now?

Is that it or do they plan on installing them on the pressbox side as well?

Installing on the west side would be a waste of time and money. Won’t be around after this season.

College Athletics is a part of a well rounded and memerable college experience...

Could you defend that? Specifically, how does it produce better citizens?

I support the Cajuns, and I don't attend nearly as many events as I would like. But I am quite clear that sports serve to further the university's mission, it brings in public & private dollars, and publicity. And it provides scholarships for a lot of young athletes to attend college who might not otherwise do so... but that's only because of the money & publicity.

I can't see any way that it directly improves any other student on campus.

Students get free tickets to all sports.

That “free” should be a “fee”. 60% of face value for every ticket during each semester. So volleyball, M&W basketball and football in the fall. Baseball and softball in the spring.

[CajunVic]

That should surely encourage attendance to move closer and closer to 0.00%

I think the ‘free’ tickets are in the fees
