Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3560275, member: 153"] I see what you are saying. It's an excellent point. But it all depends on the actual price charged for out of state. Some school's OOS tuition is still below the expenditure per student. It varies widely. But again you're going to run into the initial problem I laid out. All other units account for it in the same way. When my department brings in an out-of-state Masters student who pays far more for tuition than we spend on him/her, we don't keep the profit. The college does. It would be nice if we did! & then, some states have a hard cap on the number of out of state students allowed. They preserve seats for in-staters by law. This means that, if athletic departments did not reimburse the academic side fully, every out-of-state athlete on scholarship is essentially a missed opportunity to profit from a a student willing to pay 50k. And then, there's the final consideration. The academic side in the vast vast majority of cases subsidizes the entire athletic department, which makes this conversation moot. Check this out: University of Michigan OOS tuition: 49,350 University of Connecticut OOS tuition: 38,098 UConn students from New England: 23,424 USF: 17,324 UCF: 20,980 Florida St.: 21,683 [/QUOTE]
