I was thinking about this in the context of the proposed new NCAA division. To move from DII to DI a school must support 16 sports and the associated scholarships, a minimum cost of about $12 million, not including other expenses.
The NCAA proposed new division would require a $10 million dollar entrance fee and $30K per scholarship athlete to a minimum of 210 scholarship athletes per year. So who could afford to be in that division? That’s an increased cost of $6.3 Million per year plus the $10 million dollar entrance fee.
Obviously many schools who spend less than $150 million could afford that, but as there’s no clear cutoff, I picked $150 million as a nice round number.
