vcu: total resident student fees: $2,979 (athletics $929) = 31%

Non-residents have an addition 690 capital outlay fee so they pay 25% of their fees to athletics.

Overall difference of $118 a year between Mason and vcu.

It’s also slightly misleading in that EBA operations and maintenance comes out of the auxiliary bucket and we don’t know how much that is.

Well hot dang it....lookie lookie! up them fees! Students don't want to come to games? Charge em double!

I’m a word guy, but by my math $118 multiplied by ~40,000 students equals $4.7 million.

Think that might help the basketball programs with recruitment and retention?

And not a single soul would ever decide not to matriculate at Mason because of $118, which is a rounding error on the insane cost of higher education today.

An absolute no-brainer.
