Finding paragraph 3

Athletic programs at big time universities make huge amounts of money which help the other athletic expenses and the college as a whole. Although some of the money is going into academics, a huge percentage of it is going to less important things. The money is going to coach’s’ salaries, which are ridiculously high, and state of the art facilities. "Since the NCAA won't let schools pay players, a huge amount of this money goes to coaches and facilities. NFL teams have elaborate stadiums with sky boxes and expensive training facilities. Well, so do the colleges. They've jumped into the arms race by dropping big cash on these facilities." (Gilmore) This causes a great deal of controversy because some people want that money to go back into the university’s academic programs, but others argue that it should stay in the athletics to help build them. In 2009, Coastal Carolina University had a total of more than $17,000,000 putt into their sport programs. Some expenses they had were $5,139,330 in athletic student aids, $1,204,000 in travel expenses, and $292,000 in game expenses.
