Syracuse University Administration: Have Athletics pay the $7.5 million Big East fee, not student tuition

The Issue

In light of the fact that the Athletic Department is expected to receive an annual increase from the ACC in excess of $10 million per year, we endorse the resolution of the University Senate and Senate Budget Committee recommending that the $7.5 million Big East exit fee be paid fully by the Athletic Department and not out of student tuition.

If there are valid reasons as to why the Athletic Department cannot pay the fee, then that information should be made public and transparent.
