"The research was done by accounting professor Dan Fulks of Transylvania University, a Division III school in Lexington, Ky. It shows the median amount paid by the 120 FBS schools to support campus athletics grew in one year from about $8 million to more than $10 million."
I chose this quote because it shows how the economy has made college athletics take a hit and how now the universities have to contribute more money. I am ambivalent about this because, for one, I do not think universities should take out of their budget to help pay huge bucks for a coach, but I do know that the economy has hurt the athletic profit, so i understand.
This article was about how athletic programs have taken a hit from the economy. It also spoke about how universities are having to contribute more because of this loss.
