Here's a bit of an Arkansas homer article, but I believe the numbers are accurate and are likely similar to most large successful programs - it's interesting to see the costs: https://www.armoneyandpolitics...-an-economic-driver/
I know that some here are not Arkansas fans, but from this parents single year perspective it was terrific. I thought fans were knowledgeable and polite (not counting left field), the facilities and technology were leading edge, home and visitor parents sit field level at the dugouts (nobody else in the SEC gives the parents those seats).

Interesting "scholarship" expense line item of $651k. Not sure how it gets that high as that would equate to $55k per full scholarship. Thoughts on that accounting? I think those were 2019 figures. Didn't think even 11.7 out-of-state scholarships would reach half that amount.
