No, the High Performance Center, in particular. It's not the cost of using it; it's a share of the cost to build and/or finance it. Ergo the $30 M and whatever finance costs are incurred annually by both Cal and UC Berkeley.
It's already pretty BS that 850 students get preferential treatment at a cost to the 45K student body when they already get favorable admissions, scholarships and other benefits. How many of our sports actually improve the brand value of the school and/or generate positive ROI?
Not the high performance center specifically, but there is also a smaller ancillary RSF weight room/gym in Memorial for students. There are also a number of conference rooms at the high performance center that I assume are also used for classrooms.
I don't know. All I remember is Christ saying that the entire project should have been partly shouldered by the university as a whole, not just Cal athletics, because it benefits the entire university.
Sure some finals are held at Haas Pavilion, but there's no way students incur $30M in cost for using athletic facilities each year

Can normal students actually use the center? I thought this was limited to the student athletes only
You said the magic word ---- STUDENT athlete! :)

Yeah, but wouldnтАЩt that share be based upon usage?

Don't forget Hearst Gym too. That would add additional few million in costs.
LOL. That'd be a whole lot of electricity and custodial costs. Do they do GRE and other testing there, too?
