Some of these comments seem to suggest a uniformity among SUNYAC schools that doesn't exist. This includes sources of funding for athletics (e.g., coaches salaries, facilities/maintenance, equipment, student workers). Students' athletics and recreation fees vary as well. In addition, at some SUNYAC schools student-athletes have alternative ("preferred") registration, at others they don't. At some SUNYAC school athletics is considered a college sponsored activity, so student-athletes are excused for missing classes for travel and games. At others, they are not, and professors can (and sometimes do) take off points for missing class. Etc., Etc., Etc.
