<p>$1,700 a year per student sounds pretty steep to me, especially since UCD is not really recognized for their football or basketball programs. The fact that not many students are commenting is probably a sign of apathy to this particular issue. it’s just another fee that gets overlooked with students just concentrating on paying their way and trying to graduate on time. Here at Cal Poly Pomona, I think we only pay something like $30 a year on athletics, but we’re in division 2. That’s just fine by me.</p>
