Under one proposed change, student fees might no longer be treated only as subsidy, but also as revenue generated by the athletics department. That could make it easier for some athletics programs, especially those at schools in the power conferences, to be considered by the NCAA as self-sufficient at a time of tight university-wide finances and increasing costs for students. The standard for self-sufficiency is whether revenue generated by an athletics department at least equals its annual expenses.

Looks better, but doesn't change anything...

Do state university Athletic Departments - who recruit players from so many other states - have to pay the university the full "out of state" tuition like the schools collect for regular academic students? The great majority of 2014 commitments for both AU and UA so far are from out of state high schools. This is especially true for nonrevenue sports not widely offered by Alabama high schools.

Why should anyone care? Just wondering?
