Got an email. IPTAY fee going up $1500 for me in 26.

Was able to see the OPS center in early June. It was one of the campus tours as part of the annual alumni reunion for the class of 1975. Wasn't able to see it in 2023 for my class. Reunion activities this year lasted a full day Thurs 6/5 and half day on 6/6. It was two full days in 2023. When they opened registration for the tours, I tried to book the OPS Center a couple hours later. The Website, Eventbrite, indicated it was fully booked. I sent an complaint email to the Alumni Assoc and an un-named individual responded that a couple spots were open and would add me. However on the day of the tour, I had not been added to the list. Showed a copy of the email and one of the Alumni reps said I had to be on the tour.

There were ten members of the 75 class on the list. Unfortunately for them, their special class event ran over and three on the wait list boarded the bus. Don't understand why the Alumni Assoc couldn't have scheduled two tours as obviously it was the most popular. It didn't interfere with anything else scheduled for the building and didn't include the indoor practice facility. Also was able to see the LaX and gymnastics facilities. The young lady who performed the difficult Simone Biles beam exercise was practicing some routine floor moves and did a basic one on the beam.

I am not sure what all IPTAY funds cover, but I know those fees are rising at a rate which is pricing some out of IPTAY. In my opinion if players are going to earn money from NIL and revenue sharing then their tuition should be deducted from their earnings. I am for eliminating scholarships for all athletes especially those earning 6 or 7 figure incomes.

There should also be penalties for athletes who receive NIL and revenue sharing $$$$$$$ but leave that school before that income is covered. They should have to pay back any unearned monies before they can enter another school or collect any more NIL or revenue sharing income until all prior debts are settled with their former school.

These enabled athletes need to realize that without students, fans, Alumni donations and IPTAY members donations are what support much of the school’s athletic programs.

Eventually the student body, the fan base and fund raising organizations for schools are going to develop such negative attitudes towards athletics that the money is going to dry up.

As a student I would feel athletes are over compensated enabled unappreciated people, while I am working and taking out loans to pay for my education.

Eventually the bobble is going to bust then there will be chaos ! The question is how much more greed and demands by athletes will people put up with before the system implodes??
