BGSU Athletic Subsidy Article

Post by jpfalcon09 »

I believe this was posted in the hockey forum but it might get some more views here. Cleveland.com is doing a story on Ohio universities and the amount they spend on athletics, scholarships and student fees used to fund athletic programs. I believe the BG News ran a similar article this year.

Some interesting points:

$12.7 million came from student fees in 2013-14, making up 63% of the overall athletic budget.

BG is tied with Kent State for the lowest amount of scholarship dollars offered by an Ohio MAC school at $5.8 million.

BG has $52.4 million in athletic debt>

I don't see this figure in the article you cited (or the word "debt").

review all the materials included with the article...including the images. An explanation re the source of that "debt" would be useful
