Just a quick background- I played college tennis at MC and I am still pretty heavily involved with the program. My wife also used to work in the athletic department and was heavily involved with the football program and budgets. None of that matters, except to say I genuinely have been confused on how to feel about them getting rid of the program.
I listened to M&S and had a few questions about the money and budgeting you talked about.
On your 1.7-2m figure does this include travel, salaries for university staff (fundraising, compliance, sports media, marketing , etc) stadium cost during game days, food for football players on game day/travel days, equipment?
As an example- I know they do not have buses large enough for the team and had to rent out travel buses every away game that were monumentally expensive as they don’t have an athletics bus large enough for football.
Again, not saying you are wrong. Likely, you are right. Just genuinely curious as I might be one of the few on here somewhat “invested” in the school if you will.
