it doesn't cost anywhere near that much

35k per year at a public institution? No way. Perhaps half of that, including all of the other stuff beyond tuition. I will use several schools that I am relatively familiar with--U of NM, NMSU, U of Colorado, CSU and Wyoming. For a student with even decent grades and/or limited financial ability, you're looking at maybe 10k per year. We had one guy at NMSU figure out that he could have actually been going to school for free without football simply because of his grades and how desperate they are for kids.

At Notre Dame? Certainly. And that's the point that should have been made during recruiting over and over and over and over until the coaches and administrators were blue in the face.
