We're thinking of putting all our eggs in a local ballot measure to bail out our AD. That's what successful athletic programs do.

As opposed to your fellow Spartan fan who just bragged about your athletic department surviving by forcing high student fees on all your starving students?

This is news to me. If true, sounds like our way actually raised money.

Boise and Fresno are last and next to last in the MWC in allocated funds.  I expect we both increase our student fees

Agree but at D3, NAIA, or D2 there are Simply fewer kids going to college as birth rates drop and tuition costs increase

I just think there's a good possibility that this is going to start happening to some upper division programs as well.

I’m sure anti-public education types are salivating at this reality. They’ll just portray this as some kind of failure of “liberal policies” or some shit and say we need to “reimagine” higher education. I’m sure that will involve slashing money for public universities and funneling that money instead to for-profit trade schools for the poors to go to.

It's not bragging, it's the way most departments stay afloat. The number of self supporting programs is tiny. Go look at how much of SDSU's "revenue" comes from student fees. These types of fees are preferable to the alternative that you guys tried by taxing your whole county.

If you really want to be surprised at student fee numbers, go look at how much JMU charges their students:

Sac State just raised them to fund part of their supposed stadium renovation/build out.

I thought Boise student fees couldn’t be used for athletics?

This news is very unfortunate for the PAC in its expansion quest.  Not sure where they will look now.  

It's you MW losers who will eventually add Sac State, a school whose allocation level screams

St Mary's is on death watch, IMO. Their already tiny enrollment has been declining steadily. Athletics may be the only thing keeping the doors open for the whole university.

Tuition at St. Mary's is insanely priced. And Moraga is sleepy village with zero nightlife.

Sonoma State is ending its entire D2 athletic program at the end of this current academic year. The University is facing a severe budget crunch. Student enrollments have declined by 38% since 2015. Additionally the California State University systemwide is dealing with budget cuts.

Besides the entire athletic program, SSU is cutting 46 faculty positions, eliminating 22 degree programs, closing 6 academic departments, and also cutting management and staff positions.

The Sonoma State Seawolves have competed in the D2 California Collegiate Athletic Association since 1998 fielding seven women’s teams (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, track and field and volleyball) and four men’s teams (baseball, basketball, golf and soccer).

We are likely to see many other smaller athletic programs have to follow the same path.

They're talking Saint Mary's not Sonoma State.

 

Jaylen Wells is another, he transferred from Sonoma State to Washington State and is now in the NBA.
