I figured both of us would be further down. UAB and Southern Miss both have budgets much smaller that I had imagined. RE: Conference Athletic Budgets - Monarchblue - 04-17-2016 04:46 PM This raises some questions for me. With our budget being on the high end for G5 schools why are our major sports' coaches paid below average and why can't we afford to pay COA for all athletes when many others can? Do we need to cut some sports to be more competitive? This just doesn't add up. Our performance in men's and women's basketball and football is not reflective of the investment in our athletics program.

Some have much smaller budgets.

EDIT: I suppose the best guess is that FED EX is paying for it.

For example, Paul Hewitt at GMU was the highest payed State employee in Va. (outrageous for GMU) but he wasn't the highest paid coach. Although Frank Beamer made more, not one cent was from state funds, but instead a donor based athletic fund. His salary then would not show up as a line item in any official budget. I can see a Memphis having enough tradition and a fanbase that extends well beyond just alumni (like VT) to be able to do that, wholly or at least in part.

How does it cost $4Billion to run a university and I can only imagine ODU is not anywhere close to the top. No wonder people are riddled with debt for half their life.

There has got to be an ungodly amount of waste in that. Stuff costs money. I wonder if the hundreds of millions ODU does in research is included with that figure. I'm fairly certain (no source) that that is a combo of University funds and grant money. RE: Conference Athletic Budgets - Monarchblue - 04-17-2016 07:02 PM Stuff indeed costs money, but is it necessary? With the current atmosphere of outrage toward student debt, I find it astonishing that universities are spending this kind of money while leaving students less prepared for the market than ever and yet managing to not shoulder any of the blame for the student debt problem. People want to throw more money at universities to lower costs for students, but with budgets that large, I don't see any way that the government could throw them enough money to make a dent. Beyond that, with the way schools are spending now, it is hard to imagine that government money would go toward anything but expanding their already outsized budgets.

A closer look shows that the 4 billion dollar expenditures is a total for all of the universities (including 2 year colleges and community colleges) within the Commonwealth of Virginia. ODU's expenditures for the year in question were considerably less at 251M$.

It will be just online and somebody will grade stuff after the fact. I'll just be watching pre - recorded videos, or presentations or what ever they plan to do. And it's for a rather intense course (Thermodynamics). For $1,000 this is the crap I get. There are far too many contract or Adjunct's teaching as it is. $4 Billion?! my god. |
