Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3571144, member: 6911"] The problem is with the $8 million in "expenses." How in the world do they get to $8 million? If you add in the full (not cash) cost of $50k per player, that's only $600,000. It appears that they are adding on overhead that totals more than 100% of direct costs, no matter what you add in for tuition and room and board, coaches, ass't coaches, travel. No way to get anywhere close to the $8 million they're claiming. They have football, with nearly 100 players, and what has to be far more medical expenses and coaches, weight trainers etc, as only double the expenses of- wait for it!!- women's basketball with only a dozen players? Absolutely no way! I suspect that there is massive reallocation of AD office and even football expenses around to WCBB and other sports in order to minimize the massive losses in the football program. Smells even more now. Would love to see a real journalist look into these numbers and ferret out the truth. I think women's basketball is being victimized by men's football to cover up the real and ugly numbers. [/QUOTE]
