NCAA temporarily waives dues

Thursday, June 11, 2009

The Athletics Department will get a temporary break from sending membership dues to the NCAA for the 2009-10 year.

According to a June 3 news release from the NCAA, the cuts were made to reduce financial pressure on its member schools in the face of the economic downturn. The cuts total $1.3 million.

Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the department would save $1,800 because of the NCAA’s decision.

“We think that it’s a position that the national office recognizes the struggles that it’s membership is going through,” Marchiony said.

Marchiony said substantive changes to save money in the NCAA were also being made in the office staff structure.

The NCAA said in its news release that it was committed to better use of national office meeting space and increased use of technology for member meetings.

Marchiony said all of the moves by the NCAA to cut expenses were subsantive.
