RE: JMU #7 South Regional University in 2018

They don't bother to do the math and see that isn't not even as expensive per student as other universities at the D1 level and those schools are doing a whole lot less with their athletic buck too.
A lot of message board critics fail to point out that JMU has over 21k students enrolled. They think we're a 6k or 10k school just because we're not in the P5.
To be clear, I don't believe I have ever mentioned student fees are high in isolation. I however do believe that we spend as if we have an endless piggy bank which is the students. I'm not looking it up again but I believe we spend about ~$5M more than ODU on three expense line items within the athletic budget which I believe should be comparable. Just that is $240 back in student pockets each semester (or JMUSteelers), an giving Duke Dawg and even more 'incredible bargain.'
