[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2997627, member: 70903"] How is that different from any other school really? divide it up however you want - but money only comes from three sources at a university- donors (either direct or from income on endowment), students tuition/fees/boarding and government grants You can throw event revenue in there is you want but we all know that never covers costs and schools have random things like logo revenue or mineral rights that help a little but rarely anything significant so is your point TCU directs all “donations” to the Frog Club vs having a donation department inside fund raising? Isn’t that what Frog Club is basically? Or are you saying you want a portion of paying student tuition, etc to also help fund athletic scholarships instead of offsetting operational costs? Or government grants used for athletic scholarships instead of need based aid? In the end - it’s all the same money comes in to the school and that money is directed to either pay for operating expenses in the current year period or added to the endowment to earn a return that is then used to offset operating expenses So TCU giving the Frog Club the goal of raising donations from seat donations, dues, fund raisers, etc at a monetary level equal to the “calculated” costs of athletic scholarships isn’t any different than what every university tried to accomplish- making athletic depts responsible for funding as much of their operational costs as possible through revenue and donations but the concept that the cost of an athlete’s scholarship to the school is tuition plus room/board is just a misconception fund raisers use to increase giving - that is the value in theory and what TCU asks the Frog Club to raise just as all schools ask whatever group handles athletic giving to focus on raising from donors - but it is not the cost [/QUOTE]
