I don’t know how California state schools are run, but at least in Oregon it doesn’t work like this. The athletics programs are funded from a completely different pot of money than the academics, specifically so that football spending doesn’t affect tuition. At Oregon State University (where I’m currently a grad student), the football program is profitable and brings in enough ticket sales to pay for itself and all the rest of the athletics programs too.
- theGnuMe 4y agoRight and they could use some of that money to lower tuition but they don't.
- SoftTalker 4y agoThey use that money to fund all the scholarships and expenses for the non-revenue sports.
- downrightmike 4y agoDon't you guys have a coach that retired years and years ago and is still drawing down millions from the state employee's pension fund?
