Students don't pay. Or at least, I've never had to pay ever, except for road games of course. :D

BINGO!! Last time I checked about 55% of each students general fee goes to Intercollegiate Athletics. Your "support" of Falcon Athletics allows you to get into any regular season athletic event "free."

What exactly do you mean by the "general fee"? Does that mean tuition, room and board, food, all of the above? I'm well aware that a lot of our money that goes to BGSU goes to the Athletic Department, but what money actually goes there?

$633 general fee/semester in additional to the instructional fees. Using 55% means that students put almost $700/year to the A.D.

Thanks BGgrad. I'll be sure to refer to this page whenever any of those anti-athletic nazis I know claims we spend 1000's of dollars per student on athletics.

We have a giant falcon statue coming soon! Take that haters!! :-D
