Jacks Get a $1 million

[Rabbit74]

From TV's daily online update, the Jacks have received a $1 million from the NCAA. $819,000 in a distribution plan based on the number of sports and the number of scholarships and $181,000 from a student opportunity fund. It is nice to be through the transition period and now eligible to share in the NCAA funds.

And with a budget shortfall for the athletic department for this upcoming year, this is a nice little shot in the arm.

Wasn't it likely already factored into the budget, though? They've known when the NCAA $$ would start coming in -- just not exactly how much.

And isn't this payment the absolute last piece of transition from D-II to D-I, and conference affiliation? As long as the summit league doesn't dissolve, SDSU athletics will be seeing about this amount each year or more $$ per year?

Did SDSU lose $$ making the FCS play-offs in 2009? Or did the NCAA cover the travel costs? Did we get any payment from MT or NCAA for that?

If I remember correctly, the FCS playoff is no money maker for the participants. Covers expenses, barely.
