Students aren’t footing the entire bill in the proposal

They’re paying for athletes to go out and make a name for their school. Seems like a good investment, regardless of

I think it’s part of going to the school.. my fees also help pay for the arts

If you go to BYU, your tuition probably doesn't even cover the cost of paying

I tend to think it’s the BYU AD that feels this way...

How would the optics be bad? Literally 99% of schools already do it..

They want to pay with it.... with other people's money

Just raise tuition. Fees are stupid.

How about just let BYU Football/Athletics keep all of the concessions money from the football games?
