Saw this on the A10 board which also came from the Fordham board, and thought I would copy it here since we have been talking budgets and student fees recently:

why dont the observer print that!

Those numbers are depressing but they also show we probably get the most bang for the buck with athletic accomplishments per dollar. Even though we’re 3rd from the bottom in athletic budgets, we’ve won way more than our fair share of conference championships.

dang, temple and mass dropped a load
