Interesting article today about student fees for athletics. Note that their table shows no specific athletic fees for Ohio.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/education/hidden-figures-col... An excerpt from the article below is very interesting re Miami.
" At least one school used its fees to keep itself from being kicked out of the top tier of Division 1.
Miami University in Oxford, Ohio — which charged students $1,044.87 in athletic fees this school year — has used money from student fees to make up for low ticket sales. It purchased 10,000 of its own football tickets per home game this past season. The tickets were not resold at a discounted rate or donated.
The NCAA requires the universities playing in Division 1's top tier, a more competitive collection of 130 schools known as the Football Bowl Subdivision, to maintain an average paid attendance of 15,000 at home games.
"Because Miami does not average 15,000 in actual attendance, Miami uses a portion of the student fee" to buy football tickets, said Claire Wagner, a spokesperson for the school."
