ENG 102 HW1 Austin Texas football schools

  • Laying off 1153 people.  On the other hand the athletics department is cutting almost $500,000… from it’s 11.3 MILLION dollar budget.
  • What really sad, is by eliminating athletics, they could immediately save 220 jobs (assuming each of those jobs cost the district $50,000 a year (which it probably does not)).
  • Based on the stipends in the article, they could keep up to 1.3 teachers per coach fired.  That’s probably 10 teachers per high school and 3-5 per middle school.

    This helps state my argument that today for some reason football (Not just football), is more important that education. The examples used in this article is  how Austin Texas schools laid off 1,153 people on the academic side while on the athletic side only $500,000 from it's 11.3 million dollar budget.

  • On many levels, considering the size and profile of the school, this could be considered a disappointment,
  • The first thing that catches the eye is the nearly $4-million drop in ticket sales from 2010 to 2011, that offset contribtuions and other revenue increases.
  • Overall, ASU's revenue of $55,294,113 was well below the conference median of $62.5-million (not including Utah or Colorado).
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Texas led all 227 schools with $150-million in revenue, and Coppin State trailed with $3.48-million
  • the overall margins have been in the red for four of the last five years.

    This article shows the progress of ASU's football program in the last 5 years. 4 million drop in ticket sales, and revenue being low shows this program struggling but shows promise.
