I'm pretty shocked that the "Local TV/Media" for the NFL even shows up as part of the pie. I assume that's just for preseason games. I would have thought that the NFL had to give that away.

My guess is that the local media rights for the NFL is mostly for the radio networks.

I would like to know who are the people who are charged the list price.

I don't understand your question. In private schools like these, everyone pays the same tuition. Not everyone pays room & board - if the college even allows off campus housing. State schools usually offer discounted tuition for state residents.

The only reduction in tuition at a private school is through grants. Grants were getting harder to get about 15 years ago when my youngest started college. Her school of choice offered her $0.00 in grant money. It would have cost her (and me) about $45K/year, so she didn't go there. This year, that school's estimated costs are over $68K. I imagine grants are even harder to get today.

Loans should never be considered any sort of discount. Loans are just delayed payments with interest, so really just delayed payment with a huge adder. I bet if someone re-did this chart with the typical loans associated with it, the top number would be something like $160K/year.

Kevin, are you saying they don't give college scholarships anymore?

Not when my daughters went in the late 00's. Only grants & loans. Scholarships might be a big private school thing, like Harvard, but they have endowments galore so they can probably do that.
