That number reflects the school’s expenses, not the benefit to athletes. I mean seriously, are we counting gas to get the bus from the hotel to the stadium/arena as a benefit? This list is largely composed of expenses for the program the school wishes to create. If we’re calling this some sort of benefit analysis we might as well add in cost for fertilizing the grass on the field or changing lightbulbs in the arena.
The OP doesn't say "benefit". It says "cost". That's why they are asking for donations.
But the dollar amount of the benefits are enormous for a student on an athletic scholarship.

The OP specifically referenced “what a scholarship is worth”. This would imply the number references the worth to a student athlete. Who else would it provide “worth”?
