This fiscal statistic to a college’s football/sports budget is a large but not only part of what it takes to get a high school athlete to come to play ball/sport..
But worse now is that so many athletes are leaving that college’s football program after only one season (and even after 2 or 3 or 4 years)..
which is alarming and really unfair to the school, football coaches and “their” primary Bankers..~> the donors, ticket buyers & various supporters (aka: Fans).
Saying..what is the school’s sports program ROI when these expensive to recruit athletes quit early (no matter their reason for not staying around long-term)?
