BGSU will charge students for athletics, other general fees during fall semester

BOWLING GREEN — Bowling Green State University will continue collecting a general fee, including the portion for athletics, as part of student tuition during the fall semester.

The athletics portion of the student fee normally would grant a BGSU student access to all of the school's ticketed sports, such as football and volleyball, but the Falcons' sports teams will not play during the fall semester after the 12 full members of the Mid-American Conference voted unanimously earlier this month to postpone their seasons until the spring semester.

BGSU is not alone in continuing its normal practices, as student fees for athletics are commonplace in the Group of Five conferences and a major revenue source in the MAC in particular.
