and current ACC commissioner Jim Phillips used to be quoted (generally speaking abt football, I think) stating a NU full athletic scholarship was worth $500,000 if the student athlete took a fifth year of eligibility. Do not remember any reporters balking at the number - it might be fair guess for ND too. I don't know if he was factoring in travel, meals, high-level training (weight and injury/injury prevention), etc

strength and conditioning coach(es), academic support staff, nutritional staff, as well as tuition, books, room and board, meal expenses.

500k is probably on the low side for Northwestern and Notre Dame.
