During my research on how universities fund athletics and what is their relationship to academics I found a great deal of interesting facts. One of the most surprising to me was that NC State spent a grand total of $45,782,463 on their men and women athletics. I had no idea colleges spent so much on athletics, that’s why this fact was the most interesting. Another interesting one was that Ohio State University profits more than $11,000,000 on their basketball program each year! That is a lot of money that can go towards helping the university in so many ways. One question I still have is exactly how much money goes into the academics because I found that they do put money back in to the academics, but I never got a clear answer. I also want to know why the players do not get paid, because they are the ones winning games and bringing in that profit. After doing the research I feel that the system the NCAA has in place now is good controlling the money, but they need to limit the amount coaches get paid, the amount put into new facilities, add money to the academics, and start paying the college athletes.
