It seems ridiculous to pay $100,000 to put flat screen tv's in a locker room when the students of UTC, who already pay an athletic fee, are told that they have to shoulder a six percent tuition increase this year. If the football program can generate nearly a million dollars in revenue for just two games then why should a portion of everyone's tuition go to fund the program? If the $935,000 is going to be just a one time windfall, why can't it be used to refund a portion of the years athletic fees to offset some of the tuition increase?
