Not all scholarships are created equal. That’s one of the lessons on this week’s Off The Field With Morgan Burke.
We spend some time talking about how Purdue’s athletics department is charged for its athletes, including whether, as the student body becomes more international, there are increasing costs for recruiting students from out-of-state and overseas.
And can the electronic media explosion of the last 15 years help defray some of the costs of recruiting the best athletes from outside Indiana?
On this week’s program, Morgan talks about how the tuition freeze for Purdue students has affected his department’s bottom line and whether it may have helped stem a rising tide of donor fatigue.
Also, following the apparent concussion of a University of Michigan quarterback, who then was allowed to stay in the game, we’ll find out what protocols Purdue has in place to ensure athletes who are hurt are treated as patients first and competitors second.
