Saw this on another Marshall Board.
According to the below link, JMU subsidizes its athletic program with 78% of athletic funding coming from student fees. With an enrollment of over 20,000 students, JMU gets their money from the parents. The MAC schools also are heavy subsidized by students and Marshall athletics are also subsidized. I don't think the SEC and B10 schools have student fees due to TV contracts and high gate receipts.
Students are forced to subsidize college sports. Why?
A report by Sportico says that at James Madison University, 78% of the athletic funding comes from student fees.
