Have I missed something? There hasn't been much formal pushback from Iptay regarding sacrificing/sharing revenue from booster donations.
Neff said the cost to add 150 more "student" athletes would be $6mm or $40,000 per kid. Using that math the current cost to support 600 athletes would be approx $24mm. So in this current decade of raising over $75mm per year, where does the $50mm surplus go each year? Is Iptay kicking in huge dollars to other athletic department costs, or is there a huge kitty sitting there untapped? I know Iptay "helps" seed new construction projects. But seems to me there would be lots left each year for NIL and portal acquisitions without adding new taxes on tickets and selling beer. Not that I'm against drinking...
