Quote, paraphrase, and citation #1

"The ultimate goal is to have the athletics department running on its own, but students here love big-time athletics ... and they are willing and eager to help athletics as much as possible."

I chose this quote by Tim Lolli because it shows that college students are willing to help pay for athletics which means their tuition rates are higher. Although universities main goal is to get athletics paying for itself, when students will help pay and have a higher tuition rate to pay for it the university will take that money.

This article was about how much subsidies and money go into the athletic programs at universities and how schools have been putting me money into their athletic programs in recent times. It also said how people at the university, other than sports, have been taking cuts to pay for the athletics. For example, staff salaries are decreasing, financial aid is lowering, and student tuition is on the rise.
