"More than $800 million in student fees and university subsidies are propping up athletic programs at the nation's top sports colleges, including hundreds of millions in the richest conferences"
I chose this quote because it is telling that more than $800 million dollars from student fees and subsidies go into helping the sports programs. The students pay extra for the sports and i feel if they, the students, want to go to a college with a big sports program then yes, they should pay more.
This article was also 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.
