That's what successful athletic programs do.

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. 1 2 Quote

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: https://sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/232423 1 Quote

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. Quote
GO STATE Posted January 25 Posted January 25 On 1/22/2025 at 2:25 PM, FresnoFacts said: 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. https://budget.sonoma.edu/sites/budget/files/2025-01/Message from the President 1_22 FINAL (1).pdf https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/sonoma-state-ssu-rohnert-park-cuts/ At one time they had a good Saling Teams.
