re: Clemson Discontinuing Men's T&F & XC at End of Current Season

What are their expenses? Running shoes and bananas?

shoes/other gear (shirts,sweats, warmups, etc): a lot of that is likely not over expensive with some of these deals p5’s sign with Nike, Adidas, etc.

Coaches salaries: usually 3-4 paid positions and maybe a GA or 2. However this isn’t going away since they’re keeping the women’s programs

Travel expenses (bus plane hotel etc): Clemson really seemed to do a good job of staying around that part of the country so I don’t imagine that being too bad

Meet fees: a lot of these meets charge a few hundred per team (men’s/women’s)

As I said earlier though with the fact that they host a shite ton of indoor meets I don’t see how they’re 2 million in the hole every year. I could see a few hundred thousand maybe. If they’re 2 million in the hole the athletic admin and coaching staff is completely inept.
