1. A good use for a school to use royalty money on is financial aid and they can also use the money to buy better materials to make the classes and campus a better enviornment and learning place.
2. I think royalties should be mainly to help the students cost of education. but the left over money could be used for a good cause or for the school itself.
3. I think ten percent is fair becasue the main purpose if for the students to get into the universtiy and if there is money left for the school they should use it for the school.
1. I think that royalty money should be used on textbooks for in classrooms so that students do not have to pay the outrageous fees associated with buying them.
2. I think that the royalties should be used to help all students at the school by helping pay their book fees.
3. I think that 10% is plenty becuase the only thing that is theres is the logo and the name. They don't go through all the hard work and designing a product they think will sell. The only thing they contribute is the logo.
1. mr. evans huge bonus.
2. yes because they pay alot to go there.
3. yes because its a little bit.
1.scholarships
2.that and the upkeep of dorm rooms.
3.yes. they seem to be doing fine as is.
1. Royalties should be used to make the campus better and create a better learning environment
2. With the current economy students going to college need all the help they can get with tuition so I believe if there is royalty money left over it should be used to help with education costs.
3. 10% is plenty for the schools, they are making all that money just because their name is on the apparel
1. making their sports teams have better equipment because if the team is good then they will get alot of ticket sales and get sales from their apparel
2.yes i agree with helping students pay for their tuitions because most schools are very expensive to get a degree at and not everybody can afford to pay that much money.
3. i think it should be more because its their team adn their logo that are being sold everywhere.
1. They should spend it on education and teachers because that is why people got to college to get an education.
2. I think most of the royalty money should be spent on education but some should go to the athletic department.
3. I think it should be more that that since a colege is a educational establishment so that is what the money should go to.
1. I agree with the article, using the money for school scholarship's is the best way to spend it.
2. I mean it's the collegic team that makes the profit for the college based on how good they do in the season can bring in more revenue.
3. I think that the universitie should get more then 10%, beacuse without the universitie there would be no collegic basketball teams.
1.Students that need financal help.
2. Yes, because that is something that needs help on during a recession.
3. More because without the college allowing them to the people would make no money.
1.i think the money should go to the athletics program.
2.no b/c there are other programs for that.
3.i think it should be more, because the people wouldnt be buying it if it was not representing that school.
1)I think the royalty money should go towards the athletes because they are working hard on and off the field.
2)Yes i do think the royalties should be used to help other student with the cost of their edutation since the economy is so bad.
3)Yes I think that amount is fair because it is not too much or too less.
1. A good use for a school to use royalty money on is on scholorships for kids going to that school.
2. Yes i do because a lot of it is probably coming from the students and their families so its helping the students out.
3. The universities should get more than 10% because when it comes down to it the universities with the students are what is most important
1. The royalty money should be used for buying new athletic equipment, remodeling buildings,teacher/coach salaries.
2. No because the cost of their education is something that should not be paid for unless they have an athletic scholarship or just a normal scholarship.
3. No it should be more because the universities are allowing these companies come in and sponsor their fields/events.
1. Schools can use the money to give to students who need financial aid, inject it back into the program, or use it to improve their university.
2. Not neccessarily, it should be used for things the university needs most, and that isn't always providing financial aid for students.
3. 10% isn't a fair amount, I think the universities should get at least a 20% cut on the royalty, and this should come from the profit the stores make themselves.
1. I think schools schould use their royalty money on things that wil make the school experiance for the students.
2. I think so, because the students should be rewarded with the money they earn for the school.
3. I think it should be more, only becaue everyone who puts time in to help the school get the money should be rewarded.
1. I think a good use for royalty money would be to fund new facilities or help eligable but financially deprived students to get a decent education.
2. No. I think it should also be used for educational facilties and some on the athletic facilities
3. I think that it should be more. 10% isn't enough for the school with the players, the team, the coach, the trophy, and the title while the NCAA gets the rest when they didn't do anything to begin with.
1. A good use for royalty money is to be used for supplies for school, and or athletics.
2. as unfair as it may seem, i think that schools should be able to do whatever they wish with the royalties because of the fact that they earned it.
3. I think that 10% isn't a fair amount because if colleges got more, the price for enrollment may go down.
1. Royalty money could be used on giving away scholarships, funding towards programs that don't have as much money, or even buying books.
2. I don't think should ONLY be used to help other students, but students are the colleges are trying to satisfy first.
3. 10% is fine, because its what the universities agreed to, plus the company who has the naming rights has to make revenue too
1.I think a good use with royalty money would be to offer it to the schools supplies and budghttps://www.blogger.com/comment.doet for the school year since theres never enough books and stuff to go around, that way people who dont have unlimited money will have a better chance affording thier tution and so forth.
2.yes, because weveryone should have the same oppurtunity.
3. They should get 20% since they are the ones promoting these athletes and they should have more credit for what theyre doing.
1. What do you think would be a good use for a school to use royalty money on??
I think that the royalty money should go towards school beautification and towards sasonal student events. Also the money sould be used for newer technology and books/supplies for the schools.
2. Do you think the royalties should only be used to help other students with the cost of their education(since that is what colleges are suppose to be for)? Explain.
No, becuase even though helping other students with the cost of thier education is important, it is not the only thing that the schools should be considering. I think that the schools should focus on differnet events for the students who are making a minimum of a 2.5 GPA. I think that the money should also go towards making the campus a better learning environment. For example - new books or learning centers throughout the campus.
3. Do you think 10% is fair amount for the universities to get? Should it be more or less? Explain your answer either way.
I think that the schools should be at least 25% of the royalty money because not only are the products/services from the campus but they are also representing the campus. Therefore, the money should not only be used to help students financially, but used to make the campus overall a better place to be both inside and out of the classroom.
1. I think it should be used to pay for academic and athletic scholorships as well as for student financial aid.
2. I think that not all of the money should be used to help pay for education, because then the athletic department wouldn't derive any benefits.
3. I think the university should get more than 10% of the money because if the university didn't get any money from the royalties then the people who run the university wouldn't have any profit.
1.Giving people scholarships.
2.Yes
3.I think 10% is ok. Because it is not too high but not too low.
1.) The royalty money should be used on textbooks, computers, and things of that nature.
2.) Yes because that is fair.
3.) 10% is a fair amount for universities because the rest should be for the students.
1. text books, computers for the school, help out with stuff in the library
2.Yes this is why the kids go to school.. to get an education
3.I think it should be a little more but not that much. the players are missing classes for this tournament and the school is paying for there travel and sometimes sponsoring the events
1. To help students pay for their education
2. Yes, that way more students thaty cant afford college would be able to afford it.
3.i think thats fair, it isnt too much but its just enoguh to use
1. Maybe to give people scholarships or pay for necessary renovations.
2. No because although that is what colleges are for there are still sports, clubs, etc that are very dominant in colleges as well.
3. I think it should be a little bit more because really its the school's name that is out there and they should get some recognition by getting money.
1.school books and school supplies
2.no.....it should be used for that and other stuff like football and basketball
3.it should be 10 percent.because everyone is not goin to college...but most people are goin to elementry and even some through high school....so the other 90 percent shold be goin to the elementry and high schools
1. To make the football feild better.
2. Yeah sure, the should use it for helping students, so that everybodu has a fair chance at a good education.
3. I think that the university should get 20%, because it is using their name
1. I believe the money to schools should go to appliances at the school and more towards athletics. There are a lot of things wrong with the school and are athletics could always use more money. More money could make this school better.
2. No because there are a lot of schools who need athletics and there are things wrong with schools. They need money to help and improve conditions.
3. No i believe the universities should get 25 percent. The universities bring in people and they are the ones being sponsored. They still dont get very much and they deserve more. 10 percent is very little compared to what they could get.
1. Help with education and improvement on the campus.
2. Yes, because its a school not a sports organization. These days, schools are way to serious about sports.
3. 10% is good enough compared to what they make.
1. A good use would be the jerseys that the fans wear such as the final four picture showing teams in the final four for basketball.
2. Yes because they are paying money to get into the school as other athletes get scholarships and a free ride thru school just to play the sport for that school.
3. I think more because it should benefit all college paid students because 10 percent seems quite low of a price.
1. I think they should use the royalty money to support wherever it came from. If the money came from sport merchandise sales, it should go to benefit the sports.
2. no, I think it should be used for education but also other things because other departments need financial help too.
3.I think it should be more because if there is no university, there would be no sales, so I think the school should definately receive more because they are a big part of the sale.
1. I think that using the money they recieve from royalites to use as scholorships or used to improve the schoolgrounds would both be acceptable options.
2. No, I don't think it all has to go back to the students who need help with the cost because those who buy merchandise are wanting that money to go into the school also.
3. I think this is reasonable but maybe even a little low. If anything I think that the price could be a little higher because that money is a great way to raise money and give them exposure.
1. Return the money to the players and/or offer more scholarships, because more successful people lead to a more successful nation.
2. Yes, as the scholarship programs decrease in expendatures, the amount of people that are offered educational opportunities decreases also.
3. More, as the university is solely responsible for the money being made in the first place, so why only receive only 10% if they are putting in 99.9% in the first place?
1)A good use of the royalty money would be to give the money to students who need financial aid.
2) No I believe the money should be used in a variety of ways and should try to be distributed throughout the university.
3) I believe that the univerities should get more than ten percent because the only reason why the merchandise is being purchased is because of the university.
1. The best thing that a school can use its royalty money on is to make the school a better place for students to go to, to make it easier on them to get a better education for the future, I can see a school wanted to use some of the money to make the stadium better so that they can get more people to come, therefore increasing that amount of sales tickets getting more money, but that still must come second to making sure that the people who pay money to go to their school are getting the fullest education that they can possibly get.
2. Maybe to use the royalty monies as a loan, but it's not like the colleges and universities can just give out all of the money they made to have a student who may more than likely flunk out come to their school, it makes more sense to loan out the money that they make and have the students pay them back once they have a job using the education that they recieved.
3. 10% sounds reasonable to me.
1.sports or new equietment
2.idk
3.i think ten percent is good enough for universities to get to pay for anything they need
1. A good use would be expanding the campus or renovating buildings
2. yes, the more students attending the college means more chances of getting good athletes so the school could get more royalties.
3. i think it should be 15%-20%
I think that the schools should use their royalty money on scholorshipsf, i agree with how UNC does it. I think that royalties should be used for the cost of peoples education, but not only just this. there are other cases in which colleges should use their royalty money. I think that 10 percent is fair, considering it is their college and its not that much money if you think about it.
1. The school should set up financial aid programs for overachieving students.
2. yes i do
3. I dont think that is fair i think the universities should get more since they are the ones attracting all the customers.
1. I think it is a good Ideal that they are using it on scholarships because it helps poorer kids go to a good school.
2. I think part of it should be used for that. around 30% of it.
3. I think that the school should get more than that because they are expensive to run.
1. I think that financial aid is a good idea, many kids would love to go to college but sometimes can't because they don't have the money to pay for it.
2. Yeah, I think that the money should be used to help students with their education. It shouldn't just go to the board so they can spend it how they want.
3. I think that it should be more. At least 20% the reason people are buying these products is because of the school. It could be sports or integrity of the school. No one would buy the products if it wasn't for that school so they should get more money that has their logo on it.
1. I think the school should use all the money on the athletics program that won the money because of the championship or whatever.
2. No i dont think thats the only thing it should be used for because there is alot of other things that money could be used for.
3. I think it should be more because it is their logo or name.
1. the school could set up programs, clubs, and accosiations for students, financial aid programs, or use it to buy textbooks or laptops for the student.
2. I think that the money could also be used for financial aid for students that are great in school.
3. I think the school should get 20%, because they earned it.
