Message: [QUOTE="Orangefizz, post: 5308434, member: 5608"] SU is going have to pony up $15-$20 million annually to pay players if we hope to compete in the new era of collegiate athletics. We don’t have the large passionate fanbase NIL to compete with state schools who prioritize football. If this means we have to get less expensive coaches in the Olympic sports and even discontinue some sports, then that’s what we’ll need to do. It’s all about football, basketball and men’s lacrosse. My son just graduated from UCSD and they require every student to pay a collegiate athletic fee. I think we paid $600 per quarter for this fee. I think Syracuse is going to have to charge every student money as an athletic fee to help fund player salaries. If every student was charged $250/semester that would total $7.5 million, or half the total player salary budget. [/QUOTE]
