UNC System Athletics Subsidized With Student Fees
RALEIGH — Ten of the UNC system’s 16 universities were surveyed in the study covering 2010-14, and every one spent more than it collected in revenues — often much more. Of the 10 campuses, only UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State University covered more than 85 percent of their athletic budgets with revenues from ticket and merchandise sales, financial donations, endowment profits, broadcasting rights, or sporting-goods contracts. The remainder came from subsidies, often paid with mandatory student fees.
