Message: [QUOTE="cto, post: 1318637, member: 412"] A monetary fine would clearly have to be taken out of Athletic Department revenues (either post-season "shares" or tv money or something). And, once that is done, the department would have to decrease its operating expenses (or raise ticket prices). It would not be fair to take it out of general university funds. That would penalize students by reducing scholarship aid or by reducing faculty members. SU's budget is very tight... and there are few variable costs aside from scholarship aid and the number of faculty members. Things like utilities, salaries and benefits for unionized staff, the cost of running a huge physical plant, etc... are pretty fixed. [/QUOTE]
