What part of this do you not understand?
First of all no amount of a student athletic fee has been implemented. If you watched the video you would know that. Secondly, EVERY school in the OVC has an athletic fee currently except EKU; EKU has none, nada, zero, at the present time. I would guess many of the schools in the Sun Belt have student athletic fees, as well a lot of schools throughout the nation other than the big boys.
This other thing, and I quote: "that region". Do you have any idea where EKU is located? I thought we went over this in another thread. EKU is located in CENTRAL Kentucky, the heart of the bluegrass region. We have students from all over Kentucky, as well as other states and foreign countries. Yes, we have students from poor sections of the state, as do all schools in Kentucky ( Western Ky U as well, who does have a student athletic fee). And you can stop worrying, EKU does not have to be YOUR appointed poster child for all that you think is wrong in the world of college athletics and the world in general. Seriously, If you are truly that concerned, might I suggest some of all those millions of dollars you say Liberty has, should go to help the poor you are worried about instead of funding a move to FBS. I am very serious when I suggest this, you keep talking about your concerns and your "worrying", but it appears that instead of working on a solution, you are on here begging and pleading Liberty's case, while pointing fingers at others.
