In reply to: $699,832 of expense per ND football scholarship player posted by MrE

I'm going to guess that it's inflated to show the full cost of tuition which is saved by the athlete being on scholarship. I'm going to guess that they include the cost of the support staff, coaches, etc.

To say the least, it's misleading.
