BUBB: CSUN ATHLETICS NEEDS $7 MILLION TO RUN.Byline: Rizza Yap Daily News Staff Writer Cal State Northridge athletic director Athletic director (commonly, "athletics director") is a position at many American colleges and universities, as well as in larger high schools and middle schools, which oversees the work of the coaches and related staff involved in intercollegiate or interscholastic athletic Paul Bubb contends that to adequately fund a broad-based sports program, the school's athletic department needs a $7 million budget for the coming school year - about $800,000 more than a task force has recommended. Bubb said the $7 million is needed to maintain this year's level of scholarships, increase football scholarships as mandated by the Big Sky Conference, hire additional support staff and add women's water polo water polo, swimming game encompassing features of soccer, football, basketball, and hockey. The object of the game is to maneuver, by head, feet, or hand, a leather-covered ball 27 to 28 in. to help achieve gender equity. Bubb proposed the figure to the university's budget advisory board Friday, in an hourlong hour·long or hour-long adj. Lasting an hour: an hourlong television episode.

People aren't interested in getting behind things that are failing.'' Should administrators follow the task force's suggestion, Bubb said, men's scholarships would have to be cut in order to compensate for a lower budget. If the university will not approve a $7 million allowance, Bubb said it is possible to sustain the same amount of scholarships offered this year on $6.5 million. |
