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.
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.
