"The fee increase was requested to enhance the students’ experience at UTSA sporting events, support recruiting student-athletes, maintain and upgrade athletic facilities, upgrade video equipment and expand staff to televise programs at Conference USA standards, and hire and retain athletic managers and trainers to support student well-being."

Some are holding our faculty partly to blame, as some faculty had "Vote No" signs in their departments. Convenient that students don't get to vote on tuition hikes, salaries, lab fees, etc.

Wait...UTSA has substandard broadcast equipment and staff? I'm sure CUSA standards aren't on par as the MW but that is surprising to me. In fact, in this momentum of digital broadcasting and schools producing their own games, it is a necessity now. UTSA is going to fall behind if they can't get that part up to snuff.

I guess the MW will be more inclined to look at UNT rather than UTSA for any expansion into Texas.
