This story http://media.www.siude.com/media/sto...-3391153.shtml noted:
Many student-athletes attend SIU on scholarship, but the athletic department cannot foot the bill all by itself.
Helping to offset those costs is the Saluki Athletic Scholarship Fund, which is funded completely through donations. The fund is used to pay a portion of the total scholarship cost for about 350 student-athletes at SIU.
The goal was to raise $1 million and the donations exceeded that expectation, coming in at about $1.1 million, associate athletic director Mark Scally said. The numbers have not been finalized, but Scally said he expects the scholarship costs to top $2 million next year, so the fund will only account for about half of the cost.
In 2007, the total cost of athletic scholarships was about $1.9 million and the fund accounted for more than $875,000 of that total, according to Saluki Media Services.
This does not sound like a lot of money. How much does WSU get from SASO http://www.goshockers.com/ViewArticl...DB_OEM_ID=7500? For the 2006-7 (?) or 2007-8 year (?), this link indicates SASO received $3,030,433 http://www.wichita.edu/2007annualrep...y+Support+Type.
