At a time when colleges are losing money and school budgets are being cuts all over the state, one City College division is actually bringing in money to offset their budget.

According to Athletics Division Dean Mitch Campbell, City College allots $270,000 per year to the Athletics Division to pay for its expenses. As of March 12, 2009, the Athletics Division has brought in $25,000 from admission fees to City College sporting events.

Sports programs are notoriously expensive to run, but it is one of the only departments that can also make money for the campus. However, California’s budget deficit is topping $41 billion and it is no secret that schools are struggling to save money wherever they can. For many California campuses, this means teacher layoffs, larger class sizes and the elimination of music and sports programs.

“I think considering cuts to the athletics department is reasonable, but if they do, I hope they don’t cut a lot.” said basketball player Benga Eshugbahungbe. “Their budget is already tight.”

According to Seema Mehta of the Los Angeles Times, California “schools and community colleges will be forced to cut $7.4 billion from their budgets this year and $3.2 billion
next year.”

“Budget cuts to the athletics department, wouldn’t affect me,” said economics major Patrick Cool. “But I think athletics are important to a lot of students.”

Many potential inner-city transfer students from Sacramento
might not consider going to City College if it weren’t for a healthy athletics program, Cool said.

“You never see the stadium full, and it looks frigging expensive,” said Ina Turner, a math major. “The North Gym is nice, but I think the money should have been used elsewhere. I just don’t think athletics are all that important in a recession.”

No matter what happens in the Athletics Division, one thing is for sure: City College will see program cuts and a hike in tuition fees if the recession continues.
