institutions...see article. Frankly some are more, some will be less. Add in the following:

--Wardrobe...Nike, Adidas, Under Armour gear...likely around $500-1000 per year
--Stipend...anywhere from $1000 to much more depending upon travel, etc.
--Upgraded Room and Board--$1-5000 per year for steak and lobster meals and better accommodations than the typical student
--Tutoring $1000+

See link below.



so you're using a power 5 school as the basis?

Perhaps you should look up NMSU or UNM, or perhaps Nevada.

I will save you the time--go ahead and subtract most of those things, except for perhaps the clothes (although I don't know about $500-$1000).

Get rid of the stipend.
Upgraded room and board only works if that's available (which it really isn't at most non-power 5 schools) and is really an unnecessary perk anyway.
You can also subtract tutoring for most of the guys, but I suppose for the bottom 15% or so having someone do their homework.......errrrrrrrrr....keep them accountable for getting their work done is valuable.
If you are a true non-Power 5 school you will not be paying

your athletes since you would not have the revenue base to do so. What's your point?
