POLL: Yay or nay: Every student pays $100-$150 extra every fall semester as part of tuition. That is listed as a “sports fee” but for that the students get a pass to every school sanctioned sporting event.

BYU tuition is low comparatively, but that does not make it a small amount.

That’s a bummer. BYU sports will stay average while their funding stays average.

The problem with this is that BYU reports a profit...

Why are you asking students to pay for this? What did they ever do to you?

I’m just suggesting ways for BYU to get more $$$ for sports because the church won’t fund

BYU has one of the lowest tuition rates in the country. $150 wont hurt them.
