Anyone have an idea of UNT's athletic fee percentage and amount?  It would be interesting to compare it to the above.

I think with the magnifying glass being put on the rising tuition and value of a degree versus cost you will see more of this happening.

I can understand the growing frustrations. Costs are rising, and students see the greed on all sides and constantly hear athletes talking about being "professional" athletes and that they should "get theirs." I am not arguing if they are right or wrong, but I can understand why average students do not believe they should have to support it unless they choose to. 

 

PS - With all due respect, please don't play the "If they don't like it, they can go somewhere else" card.

I have been waiting on this since the beginning of the NIL.  Students already felt like athletes were being given a lot with tuition, room and board, meals, healthcare, tutoring, etc...  With the athletes demanding more, the regular student was bound to get tired of footing the bill.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
