$2,700? I thought I read a poster say 5-6k. Misinformed as usual :roll:

Thanks for the link by the way.

And they are in the SEC and have amazing facilities along with a town full of rabid fans. Won't hurt them.

Interesting to see something in print. I still think ours is higher than that, but you have to trust their research at this point obviously.

Is there an equation for this or does the figure just represent what each University is willing to spend. I would guess by looking at the numbers posted in the article it is the latter, but I really don't know. Can someone help me out?

That number isn't close to what I've heard we're paying. Not buying this.
Back off Warchild seriously.

Someone has to know for sure. Do we not recruit on this at all?

There was a meeting during bball season w the BOTs MC and AD where the amount was discussed. I wish I could remember the # but I can't. I want to say it was between 3500-4500 but don't quote me. We will find out sooner or later. We were right there w most AAC schools.. Most I remember was ~5-5500. Don't remember who it was.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I agree w SMT

Yep. I've never heard a number lower than even $4K so I'm not buying this $2,700.

You almost have to break out the academic side, the athletic side and then the misc side to get a true price and "quality of education picture". If an athlete just cares about staying eligible and getting as much money in the short term then these are helpful numbers although I doubt accurate. Otherwise lets look at the cost of education for a year at SMU including summer school (2 sessions) paid for. $70,000 at SMU plus the stipend compared to UT, TAM, UNT, UTSAN, Texas Southern at $30,000 plus the stipend. Over a 4-5 year period SMU is ahead over $150,000 and that does not even include the value that you can't put a price-tag on....that beautiful campus, not just part of 50,000 students jammed into a concrete jungle such as at UT and TAM and in a great city with so much to do with pro sports and the hottest job market in the USA.
