… just to see how they stay that way.
How does Northern Kentucky stay Northern Kentucky?
Well, it’s gonna move to Division 1 ’cause that’s where it’s at!
It’ll cost 3.5 million.
Of that $3.5 million, NKU estimated that $1.78 million would be from the general fund, which consists of tuition and state-funds.
[A spokesperson] said the funds would be raised over five years, beginning this year. The general fund is made up of tuition dollars and state funding.
He said the money will not be replaced, but is being shifted to Athletics. Eaton said the funds are earmarked for students but are now going to be earmarked for student athletes.
The university would take $646,000 from other university budgets, such as housing, dining services or already-existing scholarships, to be used for athletics.
New athletic department revenues are expected to reach $819,000 and would be brought in by tickets, sponsorships and donations.
I guarAHNtee you ticket sales are gonna be hot! Hell, we’re gonna make up all that money we took from the school and the students in seconds onaccounta how rich we’re gonna be once we’re Div 1! HOOOOWHEEEEEEEEEEE

“New athletic department revenues are expected to reach $819,000”
Not $815,000 or $820,000, but exactly $819,000?
In general, the citing of numbers with unrealistic degrees of precision in *forecasts*…especially forecasts involving human behavior…is a sign of intellectual sloppiness, to say the least. Happens all the time, though.
