University Subsidy Athletic Funding Capped

[Ajs120102]

For some reason I didn’t see the news about this till today but subsidy will be capped at 41 million and the athletic department must report annually on their cost saving measures. Gotta assume more buy games/ staying pat with Edsall bc of his salary level.

University subsidy for athletics department capped — The Daily Campus

The University Senate passed a motion that capped the university subsidy to the athletics department Monday. The motion capped the subsidy for fiscal year 2021 at $41 million, the same amount as this year. The motion also requested they present a plan to reduce their subsidy by at least $15 million

Tell the politicians to sack the CRDA - that dysfunctional bunch of ex political hacks take all the money and add zero value or expertise.

I could be wrong but aren't University Senate resolutions or motions non binding on the University?

I might be in the minority but I absolutely believe subsidies should be capped and a report she be made yearly at a minimum. As for your question I don’t honestly know. However, the state acting like it has no responsibility in this makes me pretty mad.

You can disagree with this move but CRDA has been an extremely successful agency overall.

How are they successful other than lining the pockets of ex politicians with no particular expertise? The two venues they manage are both in deep deficit - They are on-track to spend as much improving the XL vs. building a new one.
