What the frick are you talking about?

The OP was about the cost of funding a goddamn athletic program and why donations are solicited. NOT about it being a benefit to the athlete.



Read the OP:
ust got an email from the Crimson Tide Foundation asking for more donations. In the email it shows how much it cost for a student-athlete.

"This includes Scholarship, travel expenses, athletic facilities, equipment, nutritional expenses, and general operating expenses.
It doesn't include coaches salaries. "

I got the same email. It is specifically about the cost involved in running an athletic department.

Despite the rambling wall of text by the cluless Gator4lyfe, it does not claim that travel, etc. are benefits.

It's sole purpose is to point out that athletic departments are expensive to run and include many categories. Oh, and by the way, we'd appreciate some contributions to help all this out.
