They need to stop giving the students the option to add the fee or not, and just add it. Students will never agree to add a fee. They don’t care about ULM athletics lol. I remember everyone called me crazy for trying to spread the word that we needed to add the fee lol. Students are just too short sighted and I don’t understand of all the fees, that’s the one where they give an option to students.

we had a vote in 2015 or 2016 i think. it was set to quietly pass until another student caught word of it and ran an A1 smear campaign a week out from the vote. it got shot down predictably. I want to say it was a couple hundred a semester. wasnt anything major.

When I was at SLU around 2012 they tried to add a $500/semester athletic fee by student vote. It got struck down fairly strongly. Between all the scholarships SLU gives out and TOPS, it wouldn't even have been felt by the vast majority of students. Enrollment was around 15k at the time so that extra $15m per year would have gone a long way in boosting athletics.

I applaud JMU students for paying the fee. Having good athletics is such an enhancement to the college expierence.
