WVU just approved a $125.00 per semester fee

in addition to their other athletic fees. $250 per year for on campus undergrad, and graduate students. I think they understand that donations will not be enough. My personal opinion is that the school should cover the scholarships of the athletes, not the athletic department. It is by far the highest expense of the athletic departments, and administrative support will have to up their game if they want to compete at the highest levels. The privates have the advantage here, as except for grants, most do not receive taxpayer support from the States.

The academic's future may be a completely independent issue from athletic's
