How much does it cost RISD to send a team to districts, regions and state playoffs, particularly if the band goes?
Playoff gate receipts are divided evenly between the two schools involved in each competition, after associated expenses are paid. Expenses may include venue workers, officials, rental fees and UIL fees. Some events lose money and other have a net gain. Any profits are directed to the RISD general athletic fund and used for all programs across the district. Each year, playoff teams are sent to competitions with funds budgeted by RISD’s central athletic department. Because of this, any revenues from specific games are not used to directly offset expenses generated from specific games. The RISD Department of Athletics complies with district guidelines regarding travel, meals and overnight stays. General guidelines call for placing four athletes in a hotel room, with rooms typically costing $59 to $89 a night. Six dollars per meal is provided, but breakfast is usually not included because most hotels provide it complimentarily. Transportation is provided by RISD’s Transportation Departmen
