Yow: We Need More Funding...

((HT: Charlotte Observer/Tysiak))

One Deborah Yow, current Athletics Director at the North Carolina State University, feels that her program is not a top-25 program. And, subsequently, if the school doesn't spend more money in and/or toward athletics they won't ever be...

Tysiak was at a lunchtime talk with the Board of Trustees that had a lot of slides and power-pointy things...

Yow didn't hold back...

"We do not have the funding to achieve a top-25 athletic program today," she said. "We don't."

The current budget of, roughly, $55-million will have some more money added to it through the new TV contract, but Yow also thinks there are other places where revenue can be added- parking, marketing, apparel, ticket sales, and ((get this)) increasing student fees...

That last one will go over really well...

Maybe, she'd like to ask Chancellor Woodson about that with an $4-billion shortfall at present...
