Very interesting to see where CAA schools are, where UNCW is, and where schools we would compete with in other conferences are when it comes to athletic budgets, sports, football schools vs. non football, and student fees.
From March of 2020.

The last figure is total revenues.
UNCW $750 fee, 10,692,000 year, 14,256 students paying 57% of 18,855,000 total revenues
Charlotte $824 fee 21,677,000 year, 26,307 students paying 57% of 37,919,000 total revenues
WCU - $756 fee 6,467,000 year, 8,554 students paying 44% of 14,720,000 total revenues

CofC - $1,278 fee 12,894,000 year, 10,089 students paying 62% of 20,906,000 total revenues
Kind of amazing what App State has been able to do with student fees not much higher than UNCW and they have top notch football. That's an athletic program to emulate. Also, WCU has a budget that is $4 million less than UNCW and they are fielding FCS football. If they can do it, we can do it.
