    The price of milk went up that year as well. Is that extra money being used to pay his salary also?

    The Cary St. gym opened around the same time, maybe some of the money is used for their operations?

    According to the US Today article, UVa students pay $657 towards athletics, while VCU students pay $558 (2011). So VCU is really ridiculously low.

    For the record, JMU was $1,114 per student and ODU $1,133.

    AG Fan was correct about Tech being very low ($257), but VCU is certainly on the low end as well.

    Norfolk State's is $1,440.60 (23% of total tuition and fees) and Longwood's is a whopping $2,022.00 (21% of total tuition and fees).

    For those looking to continue grinding their axes, they'll have to find another issue. Like maybe we use too much soap and water at the SC or something.

    79% of all FOIA requests are used by media outlets for pointless filler reports, 18% are used for actual research and/or reporting, and 3% are used to make up fictional statistical percentages.
