Message: [QUOTE="syracuse95, post: 1368344, member: 860"] When comparing football expenses between schools, there is a massive disadvantage that SU has relative to the cost of scholarships vs. state schools. The tuition expense per player is $30k +/- higher than at any of the state schools on that list of "peers". Multiply that by 85 scholarship players, and we have a $2.5M disadvantage. Call it a shell game, call it paper money...call it whatever you want. Those scholarships are an expense to the football program, and in order to balance revenue and cost we need to spend $2.5M less than a state school, all other things being equal. Of course, they aren't equal because our football revenue isn't the same as Nebraska or Florida, but that's a topic for another post... [/QUOTE]
