I went to the school website and opened the 2018-2019 Athletic Budget PowerPoint... the following is what I pulled and created a word document... I have attached this word doc...
Several areas stand out but one in particular is under Revenues - the SoCon Average for Student Fees PLUS Direct Institutional Support is at 71.1%... of course WCU is below that at 60.17%)... this is the type of thing we need to point out... another is the Direct Institutional Support... WCU is giving $520,000 or 4.42% of the budget... this needs to step up! Last question on Revenue - why has the NCAA/SoCon support decreased since 2012-2013?
Hope this helps
