Does that mean the fees for athletics charged to students could be used elsewhere instead of just cutting the fees? Otherwise, the fees the students pay is like purchasing season tickets to every athletic event they want to attend - or not attend. I kind of look at the money pumped in by the University as a "marketing fee". Athletics provides a lot of attention for potential students that also have an interest in attending sporting events. Also helps to generate donations to the University.

In the end, there needs to be looks at every single area of spending, starting with the most spent in each area. All through the Univ. Most universities have no concept of what it means to cut costs or how to "do more with less". A lot of businesses have the same problem.

As a note, yes, those fees could be redistributed to academic arms, or simply removed from a student's account should there be no need to distribute them to athletics anymore. Also, in a study done by RNL prior to the end of their consulting contract, only roughly 2.5% of students factored athletics into their decision to attend UT...that survey had just over 4,500 respondents which included student athletes and all were DHS (direct from high school) entry. The idea that Athletics drives enrollment at schools like UToledo is a perpetuated myth...and that's a hard thing to say for a former college athlete, but it's the truth.

Applications for Freshman Class doubled when they
put in the FB stadium at FAU.

Last I checked, FAU and UT are different institutions with VERY different potential clientele...but that could also be attributed to the raising of admissions standards that happened in 2010 at both USF and UCF coinciding with FAU's stadium being done in 2011. Could have been a factor, but it certainly wasn't the whole thing. Case in point, if a school like Temple built an on-campus stadium, I doubt their numbers would increase at all.

All I can say for certain is that the survey and numbers I stated in my previous post are verified and accurate for the institution we're talking about...which is really the only relevant information to the original quesiton.

Oh, how wrong you are.

Please specify on how wrong Bearcatman is !!
This should be interesting, since Temple presently has MAC like numbers at the LINCOLN and building an on-campus stadium they would automatically elevate themselves to be in the 35-40,000 range attendance wise. 03-lmfao
Oh, but lest we forget, TU was such a dominant program when they were in the MAC... (Barely finishing above .500 or not withstanding Toledo slapping the Owls around a few years ago in Boca)... 04-cheers
