...of athletics revenues include a credit for the tuition that is paid to the university for the student-athletes that attend? My back-of-the-envelope calculation is on the order of $15 million annually for 700 or so students. Almost none of whom, by the way, would be at U of L if not for athletics.
Before a naysayer wants to subtract off the costs for educating those students, you're gonna have to tell me the MARGINAL cost of doing so. For example, how many less professors would there be on staff? If the fixed costs are about the same, the marginal costs are zero. And I believe we're talking around 3% of the student body.
Sorry I have to ask these questions since I won't open the local newspaper or click on a link. (I WILL look at the pictures on the front page... )
