The thing that I find funny about college tuition, maybe I am ignorant, somebody please educate me.  In an environment like SU where the student body is somewhere around 22K.  To let 85 athletes into school for "free" especially when most of them qualify for some sort of financial aid from TAP, PELL, or some federal grants or available government money.  If for nothing else than to represent the school well from a marketing standpoint.

In other words, from a business perspective...the fixed costs are the fixed costs.  Except for Room and Board and meals and of course coaches salaries.  You could look at it in the same sense as advertising.  Twelve games a year for four hours each as advertisements for the school, what's that worth when you are winning?  FAR more than the cost of the government subsidized scholarships for 85 athletes.

I am rambling and have many thoughts and opinions on this that go in all directions...

What I think that this is, is the death knell for the NCAA.  The beginning of the end for that organization if you will.
