Mondays With Myles: Increased Spending In College Sports -
posted by: Josh

Home to one of the most successful athletics departments in the country, it won’t come as much of a surprise that Texas spends megabucks on its intercollegiate athletics program. The university has one of the lone departments to actually turn a profit in the expensive world of college sports.

A recent package in the Austin American-Statesman discussed the finances of Texas athletics, reporting that the department will spend more than $100 million during this academic year, more than twice its expenses of just six years ago. The university spends more than $200,000 to support each of its student-athletes.

On today’s edition of Mondays With Myles, NCAA President Myles Brand discusses the rate of growth in intercollegiate athletics and explains the economics of college sports.

Maybe this young man will be the next Michael Jordan but if they do not make the proper plan up front they won't make it to the end game.
