People around campus seem to draw inspiration from their surroundings when they discuss the Regis athletic depart­ ment. Sitting on a couch in the Jesuit House, with snow-capped moun­ tains spanning an entire wall-length window, Fr. Tom Ryan, S.J. talks about the spiritual side of athletics - how they help fulfill the Jesuit mission of developing well-rounded individuals. In an office that is home to a forest's worth of philosophical texts, associate philosophy professor Dr. Tom Duggan invokes Aristotle, asserting that sports are worthwhile because "excellence isn't con­ fined to books." And amid a mountain of college applications, Admissions Director Vic Davolt explains that sports at Regis are integral to recruiting high schoolers who can't imagine going to a college with­ out them. But for the array of things that Regis sports are, there's one thing that they aren't: cheap. According to University Provost Dr. Allan Service, Regis doles out about $2 million per year in athletic schol­ arships, and another $750,000 for travel expenses, coaches' salaries, and team budgets. And some sports-related expenses don't even come from the athletic department budget. Costs like maintaining the fields ("indirect facility expenses") and an annual fee to the athletic conference ("general institutional memberships account") are some of the athletic expenses that get diverted to other funds. Most people, though, talk as if they want sports at Regis in some capacity, from students who rarely-if-ever go to games and staff from other departments that compete with the sports teams for university funding. There is something about having sports at col­ lege that is, as Davolt said, expected. Plus there are tangible bene­ fits like the hundreds of thousands in tuition dollars that Regis ath­ letes pay each year. But even though Regis sports have been around for a long time, it doesn't seem that people know how the athletic department oper­ ates. How, for example, does athletics get allocated its yearly budg­ et? What, if any, exceptions are made for student athletes in terms of admission and academics? How does Regis' athletic budget com­ pare to other schools? This week's Highlander takes a closer look at how athletics fits into the university, examining the impact and importance of athletics at Regis. would prevent sports from ever none.

There is another big fac­ tor besides money that dictates Regis' recruiting success, and it's academics. Not only is Regis the most expensive school in the RMAC, its admissions requirements are the most stringent. The average SAT score of a Regis stu­ dent is 1109. By contrast, the average SAT score at Western State is 950. The The two year-old sports field off of Federal is one of the nicest facilities in the conference.

This philosophy is funded by more than the $3 million-or-so that makes up the athletics department's budget. According to Schroeder, the universi­ ty's general fund - not the athletic department - paid $261,000 in 2005- 2006 for indirect facility expenses. This includes, among others, mowing and watering the fields, custodial serv­ ices, and electrical bills. The university also pays for about $70,000 worth of "athlete insurance" per year, another example of money spent on athletics but that doesn't come from directly from the department's own budget. Schroeder points out that the science department doesn't pay for the electri­ cal and heating bill in the science building. "I think part of the philosophy," Dr. Reynolds said, "is that it's part of a well-rounded college experience to have these opportunities for students.
