Isn't the discrepancy in tuition/R&B  a major difference between private and publics when calculating athletic expenses for their athletes? I thought it was also the reason that public universities have an advantage with both the quantity and quality of walk-ons.

Since athletic dept subsidies are financed through state legislatures doesn't that that mean private universities have to rely more heavily on either tuition/fees or private donors to stay competitive? I agree that I'm surprised that taxpayers haven't focused on the cost of their states' subsidies for athletic programs. Maryland and Rutgers are the poster children for over spending. In NYS, even Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook etc have upgraded their athletic subsidies while taxes remain a huge issue especially considering few athletic programs are real moneymakers. Getting the feds with the IRS involved will really muddle the collegiate landscape further and would state institutions be handled differently than private ones for state taxes?
