Expenses at College Softball

[Trophy Hunter]

Another interesting number is the sum of the spend of all the programs which comes to nearly $320 million. I would have to guess that the total spend on college football is at least 10x that or $30 Billion...

Can I hire you to do my taxes?

Have you ever thought about applying for work at the U.S. Treasury Department?

At my dd's D-II school, the following is paid for

• Uniforms (3 Changes of Uniform)
• Batting Gloves
• Bats (My dd has destroyed 4 already and is a sophomore)
• Transportation to travel games including airfare. Traveling to Arizona in a week or two.
• All Meals
• Snack Bucket when traveling on a bus and between games of DH
• Practice gear to include bat bag, practice uniforms, ...
• Cleats
• Uniform cleaning

Expense not covered:

• Gloves
• Sunglasses

Extra expenses:
We have to sell T-Shirts (12) each year to raise funds for the team. Not bad considering Wife and I are an easy 6 T-Shirts each year. This is used to purchase "travel suit" for team. This year, players were offered the chance to buy their game helmets. Players do not have to do this. We bought two. One for dd to play in and one for a display we have of all of the helmets of the TB teams she played on and then, naturally, her HS helmet.

My daughter plays for a DIII in So Cal. Everything is paid for except for her glove. They have a tourney in GA. Airfare, etc. is all covered. There is no fundraising expected or talked about.
I think different schools must have different paramenters for expenses.
