[QUOTE=Mike_Persinger;300674]But you canât add football without the Title IX sports, so those are related and necessary costs.[/QUOTE]
clt offers this to mike. how about the observer advocating for a standard per student funding amount for the unc system.
clt says that you cannot argue that this would hurt unc ch or unc r. clt says to look at their endowments which where artificially inflated by the bias of the unc funding system for years.

Troublemaker⌠Damn good idea too.
It will be interesting to see if the Observer actually prints these inequities⌠and if they do, if the headlines somehow make us look bad instead of the chapel hill and raleigh people.
Off topic⌠as soon as a politician runs on the platform of bringing our deserved education and road money to Charlotte instead of sending it to the Triangle, heâs got my vote.

clt says to send these stats to mccrory for comment.
I have a hard time believing it will really take $7 Million a year to run our program, when no D-1AA program spends close to that, and even some D-1A teams don't either. [U][B]I know ours includes Title IX implications, and initial start up costs, but I would think after a year or two we wouldn't be paying so much, atleast until the jump to D-1A.[/B][/U] I want to be highly competitive and to have this be a success, but let's be realistic here and not commit financial suicide.
The $7.7 million figure is not for only football.Football = $5,572,895
- Scholarships = $1,379,840
- Coaches = $1,409,400
- Football Staff = $820,995
- Expenses (Travel, recruiting, game guarantees, rent, equipment, officials, video, training, etc.) = $1,962,660
Additional Staff (marketing directors, assât ADs, etc) = $1,015,101
Womenâs Field Hockey, Lacrosse, and Swimming = $577,239
Other (marching band, promotional printing expenses, etc.) = $574,000
Cost of Football = $7,739,235
Yes.But SF was comparing Charlotteâs football budget to the football budgets of other programs - and was wondering why Charlotteâs budget was so high. Itâs because the other programs are listing womenâs lacrosse expenses under âwomenâs lacrosseâ and we are listing womenâs lacrosse expenses under âfootballâ.
No, I wasnât. I understand the Title IX implications as I said before, as I did goto the alumni meeting front and slightly left center,but those would and should mostly be initial costs, we continuously say that will be our $7 million number. It costs less to sustain those programs then to initially start them and run them, thats all Iâm saying, and would think that cost would drop SOME after the first year or two.
[U]Additional Staff[/U] (marketing directors, ass't ADs, etc) = $1,015,101
For $1,015,101 they better hire someone(s) that can market this school, athletic dept., and football team. Or I will highly, highly pissed.

clt says yes you are correct. However, her contribution was in the opinion section. clt challenges the observer to move this issue to the front of the paper, rather than using that space to mention the âcost of footballâ
the o has had excellent stories recently on the foreclosures in meck and the poultry plants. keep up the good work and expose the hypocrisy of the unc system!

Mike P, I know this is out of your scope, but I bet the unc systemâs hypocrisy will sell a lot more papers than a story about chicken plants. You can even make it a series. And you can even name it: [b]âWHY EVERYONE SHOULD DESPISE THE TARHOLES - Part 1â[/B].
