Mega Bucks

Amberlin Rudnicki

       This article talks about OSU and its high budget of $109,382,222. It also shows the budgets of other schools and how OSU has the highest budget in the nation. The article tells you about what the school buys for the teams and how much it costs like the jet time and the renovations of the football team’s private facility that cost $19.4 million. The football facility contains a players-only entrance, a lounge that has six flat-panel TVs, three videogame systems and a juice bar. Also Ohio has the third poorest city in the U.S. due to the payments to the school and games for football or any other sport.

       The football team raises their money buy revenue from the games and winning the national championships. The basketball team got a $9 million profit for winning their national championship.

       The UF football team made $34 million last year for winning the national championships. The schools are using this money to pay for the costs of the football team and to pay for scholar ships.

       It is important to have a strong football team because without the football teams these schools would have a significantly less amount of money to pay for the students. If there wasn’t a strong football team the school wouldn’t have enough money for scholarships since people wouldn’t want to go to the games so they wouldn’t get the money from the revenue for that and they wouldn’t have the money for the basic needs of the team.

       In my opinion I think OSU shouldn’t get as much money as they do because they are using the money for more luxuries instead of necessities when there are schools that don’t have enough money to have sports teams at their campus. If OSU didn’t spend as much money as they do the towns and cities of Ohio would have more money to live instead of having the third poorest city in the country.

       In conclusion OSU is the richest school in the country, it has the third poorest city in the country, the teams raise most of their own money, UF has made $34 million on the championship from last year, it is very important to have a strong football team, and I think OSU should get as much funding’s as thy do.
