[NU Sports] NU's football bang for the buck ...

[Beamsley, Jeff]

Interesting.

So, assuming that the Athletic Department turns a profit on football,
they not only subsidize other sports; but also in some small way
subsidize the rest of the student body.  That's because the kids that
are getting a full scholarship aren't looking to the university for
other sorts financial assistance.  If memory serves, a fairly high
percentage of non-athletes are getting some sort of assistance.

BTW - anyone catch PTI yesterday?  Wilbon spend some time covering the
autopsy report on the late Cincinnati Bengal, Chris Henry. The coroner
discovered that he had a brain injury before the fall that killed him
yet he had never missed a game in his professional career.  It raises
the specter that even seemingly healthy football players accumulate so
many hits to the head that they run the risk of diminished capacity
later in life.

My understnding is tuition is charged to athletic departments at the
rate the kid would otherwise pay. i.e. out of state if appropriate at a
state and full tuition at NU.  Room and board are the same thing
even though they get the training table.

How do schools have to factor in tuition for scholarships?  



NU's tuition is much higher than at other Big Ten schools, even if

those other schools have to use out-of-state tuition rates.  



I suspect that NU football loses money except for the media money they

get from the conference, which I don't think is broken out by sport.
