A Five-Year Snapshot of University of South Florida Athletics

As I prepare to go on WTSP in Tampa/St. Pete tonight to talk with my friend Noah Pransky about USF’s student activity fees, I’ve been looking at other USF data. I thought it would be interesting to see how the landscape has changed for them over the past five years. Here goes:

Student Fees for Non-AQ Schools

This morning I showed you the Top 25 Recipients of Student Activity Fees in the BCS, and last week we looked at each school in the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12 and the ACC, Pac-10 and Big East.

Below is a breakdown, by conference, of every school in a non-AQ conference. Remember, “N/A” means the school is either private or otherwise immune to open records request, whereas “0″ means the athletic department does not receive student fees. Also, numbers are from the 2009-2010 school year.
