But I certainly bought a lot of Champion sweatshirts at the Co-op that had nothing to do with basketball. Unfortunately for the AD, that's institutional revenue even though sports clearly adds to that total. It also sucks that we pay the state rent and don't get the full revenue from the Rent and XL. That's ridiculous and makes the hole seem bigger. Upstater made a passionate defense of the "charge" for scholarships as well, but I never fully accepted it. Room and board, certainly, that's a cost. But I don't think there is much additional faculty on campus because of athletes. So that part of the loss is inflated in these numbers. I think that new on campus rec center is obscene. It's a grotesque luxury. Invite Planet Fitness to go in nearby and cut tuition. But when you can raise prices without impacting demand, this is what you get. [/QUOTE]
