A USAToday article on the cost of D-I athletics.  Nothing that we didn't suspect, but puts numbing numbers to the scenario.  Focuses on Cincinnati and Miami (O), but Northern KY is mentioned.  The points that are brought up make you wonder if a bubble is about to burst.

A few hundred $ fee is well worth it to keep sports around.  I know that different people have various views on this, but I wouldn't have attended a school without sports, even if I had not played baseball.
