Everything in my post is a fact. If ou dispute any numbers I will give you a link.

The joke here is you trolling. Keep up the fine work.

Their annual operation budget is $3.2B. They can subsiduze $32M and it would be 1% of their budget. Why are so concerned with UMass anyway?

Actually you are incorrect on this if you think this is the way it's done at other colleges. I read you and the other guys argument, and Im sorry to say, I agree with him. Doesn't matter if a school has an annual operation budget of 100 Billion. They'll never use 1% of that budget on athletics. Doesn't mattter how large their endowment is, not a dime will go towards athletics.
Did YOUR school take money out of its annual operation budget or endowment and use it on athletics? I've never heard of it happening anywhere else.
Cheers!

So do you think that scholarship money is actually taken from the athletic budget side and transferred to the academic side? Like you give to the Pirate Club or whatever it's called and that money is used for scholarships and paid to the registrars office? According to USA Today ECU contributed 4.5 million of school funds to athletics.

Student Fees were 13.5 million.

UMAss has 28.5 million between student fees and school funds for a 36 million $ AD. Essentially each student pays almost 1,000 per year to operate the AD or about 80% of the costs. LOL.

If you compare things like ticket sales and contributions you see the issue. UMAss sells 1.6 million in tickets and gets 1.3 million in donations where ECU has 7.2 Million in ticket sales and 14 Million in donations. ECU has great fans show support the school, UMass has no fans.
