    so JU played in the "non-scholarship" PFL, but now that the football program is discontinued all the (former) football players are now offered full tuition scholarships if they choose to stay there. (not complaining or anything. it is a classy move after a difficult decision. It just seemed as kind of a contrast.)

    Plus the fact, since all football athletes pay tuition at $38,140 per year (https://www.ju.edu/financialservices...ergraduate.php), at 95 athletes, that's $3.6 million that the university will now lose. How are they going to redirect those monies when you just lost about 100 students at a 4,000 student university? Those funds just don't magically stay...they will disappear.

    What lawsuit? This will be a decision they will rue.

    Out here, nobody really ever thinks of Pacific anymore. They dropped football 25 years ago this next year. Their enrollment is still around what it was around 1995: about 6K undergrads. Other than a couple of years of Men's Hoops winning the Big West, UOP is a forgotten university in the West. They thought all that money would go to other sports like Field Hockey...and surprise, they just folded that program last year after they tore down old Stagg Stadium to put in a new field hockey pitch.

    UOP: no football, out of sight, out of mind.

    What about Wichita State? Jakdsonville could take that budget, find the money to replace the football player's tuition bump all that money into a coach's salary and then maybe they could dominate a conference then get into a new G5 conference then disappear.

    The Gophers played Pacific at the Metrodome- I think it was the last year that they had football. I was going to go that night but had a bad sore throat. Wished that I would have- I could have added the Tigers to the my list of team seen.

    I remember when Wichita had football too. And the plane crash.

    Jacksonville students are not paying $38k a year in tuition. That is the sticker price. Very few are actually paying that.

    The school will not lose that money. Unless you think they won't be able to fill those seats that were previously filled with football players. They were spending $1M a year (the cost of running the program) to attract football players to the school. They can now fill those seats with non-football players and will be able to spend less than $1M a year to attract those non-football playing students.

    I'd be very surprised if the athletes were actually paying the full $38K. Most schools that don't offer athletic scholarships (PFL, D-III) put together significant aid packages together for their athletes, using grants and academic/foundation scholarships to get to the tuition number. I suspect there is also some student loan debt involved as well. Probably not that big a hit on tuition dollars that they won't make up by admitting additional students next year.

    Good on the university for putting the students who wish to remain at JU on fully academic scholarship.
