    Maybe I should be bumping things up by $5k a year to solve this dilemma.

    You get an additional point for each consecutive year, too.

    With money basically free right now, you're probably right.

    Here is a question for someone to answer, since I do not know it. What do students pay in activity fees? I know this goes towards the wellness center and probably other things. But is any of this put into the athletic fund, TM, FCOA or schollies? Maybe the students could get some PP for the fees they pay while in school and this may help retain them after graduation. I will hang up and listen to the response.

    Student fees contributed to the athletic department budget roughly track with the face value of the student section seats in the fargodome including the cost of teammakers contributions that would be attached based on section.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    So over 4 years in school that would be how much? They can not end up with more points than the student athlete letter winners. But here is a way to have them in the system. If they do noting with it well then I can't help.

    I posted this a long time ago (student fees) but I can't remember... will need to look it up. Seems to me that it was in the $400. range?

    Fall 2017 = Full time, 12 or more credits = $497. (Wellness center is $150.)

    Teammakers check was 4.2 million, I think last year it was 4.3. Have we peaked? Bison 1660 made over 100k so the numbers should be similar. Wonder if people donated to things like the locker room so is money coming from other areas?

    Possible drop in Team Makers fees due to basketball season tickets not being renewed? Just a guess.
