Free tuition in NY??? SOO if I move there...don't take a job...apply with $0 income...can I spend 4 years at Syracuse in the dorms and have some fun???? This "free tuition" experiment the left wing is going on is ripe for abuse.Originally Posted by Bluefish845
Yeah our stadium is a dump. But your mama has season tickets.
'Cuse is a private school the Free tuition is for public schools only but includes both Stonybrook and Albany. You would still be on the hook for room and board which is more than tuition at most of the state schools currently SUNY tuition is about $5,700 per semester although that can vary by school slightly
Sorry old number it is $6,470 per semester..
Fwiw, last I checked, JMU was still the 5th cheapest tuition and fees university in the state of Virginia. We may have a nation highest student subsidy but when the parents and students are still paying less overall, they don't notice and don't care.
With that being said, I'd love to see our fees go down. We're paying G5, almost P5 bills for an Fcs product. Anything less than a national title each season is unacceptable.
Our leadership has made the commitment to fully fund all programs too and we have many new athletic facilities and the debt service that comes with them.
The big difference is that many universities choose to underfund their non-football and mbb sports, while our leadership won't throw the other sports under the bus.
Wasn't JMU mandated by law to get to a 60% subsidy?

UNH is pretty interesting. Both ticket sales and contributions are way down from 2005, yet revenue is way up. These alternate ways of making money are interesting. Student fees have almost doubled (probably going there)
"We're New Hampshire born and we're New Hampshire bred and when we die we'll be New Hampshire dead, so it's ra ra New Hampshire Hampshire, ra ra New Hampshire Hampshire, pride of the granite state !"
I just want to know how in the heck SLC teams get that much in contributions! UCA can barely get $150k from their donors while SHSU get nearly 3 million! WTH! Even Lamar and SFA is outpacing us. This is unacceptable. Seriously.
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
Interesting how it is dominated by CAA on east coast (6 programs), Big Sky on west coast (3 teams), and then my ISU program close out the top 10 in Midwest. ISU has done very well managing their finances and have easily survived sate of Illinois budgetary woes and reneging on funding in comparison to all other state schools, except possibly U of I. We're very fortunate in that aspect. Still growing slowly, raising entrance requirements, and improving campus infrastructure every year .. despite Illinois not funding anywhere near what was committed.
One area some complain about is that we don't budget for each sport based on revenue potential for sports like Men's Basketball and Football .. we tend to spread the money every where as far as budgets for coaches, equipment, and facilities. For example, our Hancock 2.0 renovation had to wait a long time to get done, while other sports facilities were getting very nice upgrades. Granted there were many contributing factors to why other sports got their stuff done and football did not .. but point remains same .. ISU likes to spread the budget across all sports, with only some regard for revenue potential.
I view this approach as mostly a positive, but it sometimes leaves me scratching my head .. but then i look at other state schools who are struggling a lot financially and accept ISU knows what they are doing and are very focused on long term sustain success .. and not as much on next seasons football record or recruiting class.
Yes. It's 70% for an FCS school. The legislation though exempts certain types of expenses from being counted, such as debt service or spirit groups. According to our Athletic Director, we're in compliance when we exempt those items that the law allows.
A quote from Jeff Bourne, our AD: "namely spirit groups, debt services (that were approved by the Commonwealth prior to June 30, 2015) and institutional service charges. After that consideration, JMU sits at 58 percent of its budget stemming from student fees, which is well below the Cox Bill requirement at the FCS level."
