With that said, NDSU is beating (not crushing) them in ticket sales, contributions, rights/licensing, school funds and others in regards to revenue.

Don't they try and explain this away by saying those fees cover more types of expenses than at other schools? What explanation can cover 37.5 million dollars?

I have no idea. They're a public school, so they can't use the private school high-cost excuse (tuition isn't extremely much higher than NDSU's). My guess is that Virginia compared to North Dakota, is more willing to spend money towards higher education without public outcrying (i.e. getting too big for their britches), and therefore, can expand more easily to compete with the numerous other schools in the region.

They deflect and say that tuition is cheaper at JMU than any other public 4 year school in Virginia. Which seems kind of self-defeating since they're basically admitting that JMU goes cheap on the non-athletic spending from tuition... you know the important part.

Re: NCAA Finances Updated
Their facilities expenses at 15.5 are roughly 4x higher than NDSU at 3.9 mil. That level of spending in continuous too, it's not like a one time building project.

Check out the App State, Coastal Carolina and Georgia Southern numbers. NDSU does better than all of them. GSU embarrassingly only takes in 1.5 million in ticket sales.
Re: NCAA Finances Updated
I don't see how that is sustainable. I sure as hell wouldn't pay a school that kind of money for entertainment. Plenty of other options for a quality education are available. It's insane how many kids just pay it without batting an eye. At some point they'll wake up.
