D1sioux Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Jim Antes asked about funding from student fees? Tom Buning said there has been no movement on student fees to date. He did state that if students paid an additional $46 per semester in student fees, it would generate over $1,000,000 in revenue for Athletics. Get ready for a hike!! The Division 1 money will have to come from some place...and the students are a prime target...there are no more big marketing menu's...Altru, Coke, beer establishments are tapped..you certainly cannot raise ticket prices...people in town are already complaining heavily about that...especially when there are open seats and ticket prices go up...to the common person..that displays greed....and in the midwest where hard working values prevail...greed...does not bode well...

The one problem I have is you know people will say that an additional $46 per student is not that big of a deal and it obviously isn't a whole lot of money, but after it is raised that much, a year or so down the road they might say the same thing and look at raising it that much more.

The Sicatoka Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 You're assuming the students wouldn't be asked to vote on this for themselves. They did vote themselves the fee increase for the Wellness Center. If it's important to them they'll vote accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
