“By every measure EMich is really sick. Kent and Ball are also not healthy in terms of true revenue, but they fund most of athletics through student fees and are not too bad in using institutional money -- they really lack the community support to be FBS, but if the students pay for it, it's hard to say they should drop. EMich howvere should give it up, they simply lack the level of support for D-I athletics and frankly are stealing tax payer money; Less than 4% of the budget comes from gate and donations, and $0 from students (why I question the veracity of the claim the $30M football facility can be paid for with donations, unless they are cannibalizing donations to the school itself, given Athletics pulls only $600K annually in donations)
CMich has terrible gate, but OK contributions. Akron, CMich and WMich like EMich, have $0 student fees and are transferring what should be criminal levels of tax payers institutional dollars into the programs. Buffalo leans too much on that as well. This could make them candidates to drop as well, with States beginning to focus on the high level of tax payer dollars being transferred. These schools need to get a significant component of their subsidy funded by student fees to avoid the guillotine.
Conclusion, EMich is the one to go.”
Just curious to see what you Eagles fans think of these numbers and overall analysis. This was not written by me, but by an unbiased poster.
