Interesting.  I always appreciate discussing this area with you because of your background and your willingness to share it.

Keep in mind any chargeback for student athlete tuition is merely debiting one account and crediting the other. There is no incoming money. It is entirely illusory. So in the end whether it’s accounted for by making it a  larger offsetting credit and a debit or a smaller offsetting credit and a debit, it’s really irrelevant.   it doesn’t add a dollar to the total budget or take away about a dollar from the total budget.

So practically speaking whether it’s represented as the University subsidizing the athletics department which then pays full freight forward student athletes or whether the university pays athletic department less money in the athletic department pays the University back less money, it’s still a net nothing.

Doing it based on marginal cost, rather than on discounted out of state cost, however, creates a much better narrative for athletic department in there for a much better narrative for the university as a whole.   Everyone wins.
