im with you on this one. I understand that some subsidies are required to keep the program afloat, but 100k plus expenses is well above and beyond what they deserve. Many pro sport players contribute in teams that turn a profit, yet they get a much lower salary. Worst part is now the path is paved for other women's programs to basically unionize and threaten to quit unless they receive their handouts too.
