Strack, Chairman of Subcommittee on Economy Regarding: Economy The goal of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of Arizona is to provide a sound, competitive program in men's and women's intercol- legiate athletics for the student body, faculty, alumni and friends of the university. The department's philosophy is to provide the coaches of the ìntercollegiate sports the university sponsors with the necessary tools to compete successfully in the leagues in which we are members, the Pacific-lO Conference for men and the Western Collegiate Athletic Association for women. The teams that represent the University of Arizona are expected to be competitive at the national level. The department recognizes the authority of the Arizona Board of Regents, the NCAA, the AJAW, the Pacific-lU Conference and the WCAA and requires all members of its staff, coaches and teams to follow the policies, rules and regulations set forth by these respective governing organizations. Only three sports, football, basketball and baseball, generate significant revenue; nevertheless, the department shall make every attempt to fund a variety of sports to support the interests of its student body, faculty, alumni and friends, The athletic program must be administered on a sound fiscal basis and, to that extent, shall be subject to the constraints of annual funding by student fees, state appropri- ations, event receipts, contributions, donations and gifts to the department. The department recognizes the natural exclusivity of intercollegiate ath- letics and realizing the value of sport as a recreational outlet supports the need for a well-rounded, diversified institutional intramural and club sport program. The financial picture of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is as follows: In fiscal year 1979-80 our expenses exceeded our revenues by $68,150, reduc- ing our fund balance from $94,280 to $26,130. Unfortunately, we must report that our Intercollegiate AThletic Comittee February 24, 1981 Page 2 projection of revenue and expenses for the balance of the 1980-81 fiscal year indi- cates that our fund balance will be eliminated, and we will benin our next fiscal year with a significant deficit in excess of $200,000. Although we did not anticipate a negative fund balance, the following face tors contributed to the deficit: Double digit inflation. Increased capital and operational expenses related to the new track and field fa cil î ty. Capital improvement in student seating in the football stadium, Change of the football stáff. 5.. Increased minimum wage which affects student, parttime and hourly support personnel Reduced attendance at football and .basketball games. Increased funding of our women's program in an effort to bring that program into parity with the men's. Our revenue and expense projections for the fiscal year 1981-82 are not encouraging due to the rising costs of funding the ICA program, Our financial pro- jections for next year, operating in the same manner and with the same size program as we have been, would increase our projected deficit to a figure in excess of $500,000. We strongly feel that our 1981-82 budget must include a method by which we can reduce our projected deficit. The financial facts stated above made it necessary that a very serious review be made of our total program. The subcommittee of the Intercollegiate Athletic Corn.- mittee, consistent with the principles espoused in our philosophy statement, makes the following recommendations to the Intercollegiate Athletic Committees 1. The University of Arizona discontinue intercollegiate competition in the sports of men's wrestling and men's gymnastics and women's field hockey at the conclusion of the 1980-81 academic year. The University of Arizona shall continue to honor all individual grant-in-aid cornitments through the student-athlete's normal period of athletic eligibil- ity provided the student-athlete maintains the minimal standard of academic progress required by the NCAA and AIAII for practice and competition; and, The University of Arizona shall continue to provide for or arrange for employ- ment of the head wrestling coach, the men's head gyninastìcs coach and the women's field hockey coach for the 1981-82 year, Intercollegiate Athletic Committee -February 24, 1981 Page 3 The subcommittee recognizes the traumatic impact of eliminating sports from the program. The basis for this recommendation for discontinuing wrestUng, men's gymnastics and field hockey include the following! Wrestling Only five schools in the Pac-lO compete in wrestling. They include Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, Arizona and Arizona State, Cost of Program Year Revenues Expenditures 1978-79 Actual $3,33G $71,530 1979-80 Actual 7,828 74,921 1980-81 Budget 7,000 74,752 1979-80 Medical Costs (Limited portion of these costs are recoverable through insurance) Gymnastics (men's) All Pac-lO schools compete in gymnastics except Oregon State and Washington, Cost of Program Year Revenues Expenditures 1978-79 Actual $1,885 $30,353 1979-80 Actual 3,450 34,550 1980-81 Budget 3,500 32,930 1979-80 Medical Costs J017S-7 (Limited portion of these costs are recoverable through insurance) Field Hockey (women's) Only one other WCAA Conference institution, California State Universtty at Long Beach, supports a field hockey team. Cost of Program Year Expenditures 1978-79 Actual $27,483 1979-80 Actual 27,120 1980-81 Budget 46,000 These three sports cost approximately $180,000 in 1980-81 and the costs would undoubtedly increase in future years. 2. The subcommittee recommends that the president appoint a committee to study and recommend to the director of athletics how the facilities made available by dis- continuing wrestling and men's gymnastics could best be utilized in the interest of Intramurals, Recreation and Physical Education. Intercollegiate Athletic Comittee -February 23, 1981 Page 4 The removal of gymnastics from Bear Down Gym would free that facilityfor intra mural and recreational use by the students and faculty. This will provide the University of Arizona with a much needed underroof intramuralfacflity, 3. The subcommittee recornends that the 1981 football ticket price beìncreased to reflect the inflationary spiral in our country.. We recormiend a topprice of $11,00 for all games in 1981. This equals the price we charged for a ticket to the 1980 ASU game. Gv-kt.At.h/#.1 CZit4'' 4.
