Well, at least it's not our tax dollars (allegedly), yet.
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

You're kidding right? About 40% of the UC's system funding came from the state government in 2016-17 school year

This is what is wrong with intercollegiate athletics. However, what C.al is going through is not particularly unusual. C.al has (in the past) tried to insist that athletics NOT be subsidized with general funds. The CSU has never even attempted to make that claim. In 2016 SJSU spend $11 million of general funds on athletics, as it does every year, and combined it with $8 million of student fee money. San Diego State and Fresno State are worse. None of these schools can possible generate the TV money, gate receipts, and donor contributions necessary to create a self-sufficient program, and so they spend tax dollars and when that is not enough, charge their (largely) working class students big fees to pay for programs they seldom turn out to watch.
Before now, C.al has been "responsible" compared with the CSU schools, spending $4.4 million of general funds and less than half a million of student fees. Looks like that is about to change.

Edwards Stadium facing the axe. Probably the track team too. Brutus Hamilton is pissed wherever he is.

The wikipedia entry mentions "[Edwards] stadium came under scrutiny for damaged concrete in June 2016." Maybe they can't justify the cost of repairs given the debt... Too bad if it means the end of The Big Meet. It's also the soccer venue - where will those teams play?
